Anton Dvorak spent time here finishing his famous New World Symphony. The Czech composer came for the summer of 1893, along with his family, to relieve his homesickness for his homeland. For three months, he and his family lived above what is now the Bily Clocks Museum. He spent time among the resident, mostly Czech immigrants, while he worked on his masterpiece. He began some work on his American String Quartett and other of his prominent pieces while here. He also played the St. Wenceslaus Organ at times during the summer.
