The Grand Opening of our new library and museum was a truly special day for the Society Farsharotu - we were warmly greeted and thanked by our many visitors for our work on behalf of the Aromanian/Vlach community in the US.
One guest was surprised to find a rare book in our library that has been out of print for decades and is considered a jewel by many Aromanians: Τα Τραγουδια των Βλαχων/The Songs of the Vlachs by the late Zoe Papazisi-Papatheodorou.
Others were surprised and happy to see photos of their parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents going back to 1903. It was an exhilirating day for all!
Visits are now available by appointment only, our web site has information on scheduling a visit.
Come and meet us -- we hope to see you soon!
