Panna Maria is home to the oldest permanent Polish settlement in the United States.

Since 1854, this community has carried forward a story of faith, family, and perseverance. Our exhibits, archives, and educational programs exist to preserve that history for generations to come.

That legacy is at the heart of our October 3rd celebration.

Visit polishheritagecentertx.org to plan a visit before the big day.
