Czech heritage and small-town spirit shine in Montgomery
Montgomery is a rural town south of the Twin Cities that’s steeped in Czech American heritage. It proudly calls itself the “Kolacky Capital of the World,” a reference to the popular Czech pastry. The town has an old-fashioned town center with historical brick buildings, vintage signage and a handful of shops and restaurants. “It’s got a small-town vibe. The downtown area is only a few blocks, but it’s filled with family shops, cafes and restaurants," says Sam Krech, a librarian at the Montgomery Public Library. "It’s really a lively place.” Every July, the town comes together for Kolacky Days — a cultural festival that features a bike parade, bun-eating races, live music and Czech dancing.
