Bohemia

Beginnings: Three young couples seeking freedom from the Hapsburg rule in Austria and Hungary arrived in mid-Suffolk on March 5, 1855, and became the founders of what was to become the community of Bohemia. They were John Vavra, John Kratchovil, Joseph Koula and their wives. Koula, a cabinet maker, built a house for each pair, and part of one home still exists. The men soon chanced upon the William Ludlow estate in Oakdale, took laborers' jobs. In 1859, the growing Czech settlement was christened New Village of Tabor. Tabor meant ''camp.''
