Czech Heritage Museum

119 West French Avenue Temple, Texas

Thursday, April 13

5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

The SPJST Foundation hosted its premiere “Night at the Museum” on Thursday evening, April 13, 2023 at Czech Heritage Museum and Genealogy Center in Temple, Texas.

“Over the past few months, quite a few things have changed at the Museum,” SPJST Foundation President Brian Vanicek said. “Most notably, the oversight of the Museum, which previously rested in the hands of the Czech Heritage Museum and Genealogy Center board, has been transferred to the SPJST Foundation.”

Special thanks to April’s inaugural event sponsors that donated food and beverages for the festivity - Mikeska Distributing, Ratibor Country Grill & Catering, Kolache Kitchen, and The SPJST Foundation.

Night at the Museum is a spring and summer series hosted by The SPJST Foundation dedicated to establishing the Museum as a community center with regularly scheduled activities including performances and events.

If your business, civic or cultural organization, church or school group is working to make a positive difference in Temple and the surrounding area, Night at the Museum is your opportunity to spread the good word while you mix and mingle with friends old and new.

Night at the Museum future open houses are scheduled on Thursday evenings for May 11, June 8, July 13, and August 10. To showcase your group or business at Night at the Museum including sponsorships, please contact Brian Vanicek 254-534-2902 or via email vanicek@spjst.com.
