What is the history of Ukrainian Village?
Ukrainian Village grew as an immigrant quarter within the grid of Chicago. Families of the founding community settled these blocks and raised their parishes, and Holy Trinity Cathedral together with the Ukrainian National Museum records the people who gave the neighbourhood its name. Faith and language held the streets together.
The Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art carries that founding culture forward through its collections.
