The famous Czech composer lived in a house on this site from 1892 until 1895. Longing for his Czech home, yet happily inspired by the freedom of American life, he wrote here, among other works, the New World Symphony, Biblical Songs, and the Cello Concerto. In memory of his 100th birthday and for future generations of free Czechoslovakia, the grateful government in exile initially erected this inscription on December 13th, 1941.
