About the event

Journey from Old World to New: The Shenandoah's Croatian Roots

The Dorotich, Skansie, Kazulin, Gilich, Bez, and Janovich families all came from Croatia, and more specifically the Dalmatian coast and the island of Brac. All were connected to the FV Shenandoah. But how did they find their way to America, and how were they related? Join director Stephanie Lile for a journey to and from the Austro-Hungarian Empire to America and discover the complex ties to each other and the Shenandoah. Learn more about our Croatian sister city, cross-continental boat building projects, and the invention that changed the face of commercial fishing forever.

Admission is FREE for Members and $5 for Non-members. This talk will be IN PERSON at the museum. To save your space, please RSVP to Amy Crews at
