 Abstract:  The Slovak Gymnastic Union Sokol was a national organization with at least three lodges in the Cleveland, Ohio, area. It encouraged physical fitness, singing, dancing and other cultural activities. With the large number of Slovak immigrants settling in Cleveland between 1870 and the early 1900s, cultural groups such as the gymnastic Sokol Union formed in Slovak neighborhoods. By the 1920s, at least three branches of the Sokol existed in Cleveland. By the 1960s, all the Cleveland lodges had merged into Lodge 260. CThe cllection consists of minutes, account and dues records, membership rolls, and miscellaneous club correspondence.
