AHSCA HISTORY 

In 1976, the Bicentennial of the United States triggered a cultural awareness throughout the country, including Louisiana. In an attempt to preserve and promote the Hungarian culture of the Albany, Louisiana area, some of the local Magyar descendants established the Arpadhon Hungarian Settlement Cultural Association (AHSCA).
 
 

After twenty-five years, this organization is still an integral and vibrant part of this rural community. The AHSCA sponsors yearly events that include the Hungarian Harvest Dance, which takes place on the first Saturday of every October. Hungarian Heritage Day, an event that usually takes place in May or June, provides the community with yet another opportunity to promote the rich history and culture of the area by honoring the Hungarian descedants who are seventy-five years of age and older.

The Arpadhon Hungarian Settlement Cultural Association is located in the former Erdey-Kiss Amvets Building less than one-quarter mile south of Albany, Louisiana.
