This 90-minute guided tour with Director of Education & Interpretation, Becky Gaugler, offers a deeper dive into the history and lived experiences of the congregation of St. Nicholas Croatian Catholic Church. Participants will explore why people immigrated to Pittsburgh and how they built new lives in America while maintaining strong cultural connections. Rich in detail, the tour weaves together oral histories, archival photographs, and a close interpretation of select Maxo Vanka murals-situating them within broader world events and the cherished recollections of parishioners. Whether you’ve visited the Vanka Murals before or are seeing them for the first time, this one-of-a-kind experience offers something new to discover.
