Polka Hall of Fame

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Polka Hall of Fame is a museum in Euclid, Ohio, United States. It traces the history of the Cleveland-Style polka, from its roots in Slovenia in the 1800s, through American factory and mining towns where it absorbed jazz and country expressions, to the post-war years when top ten polka hits got the nation on the dance floor.

The hall of fame holds an annual awards show in November of each year. The show awards local and national polka groups and talents.

The museum is now located on the first floor of the old Euclid city hall. The building was renovated in the early 2000s for two museums - the Polka Hall of Fame (first floor) and the Softball Hall of Fame (second floor).
