Kuban Cossacks Association, Inc.,
 Library & Museum

August, 1996, at Kuban Cossack Corporation Library and Museum, located in New Jersey, the community of the Kuban Cossacks celebrated 300 years of the Kuban Cossack Army ("Voisko") with gathering of good friends, traditional music, remembrance of heritage. The event must have lasted 12 hours. Some Cossacks were dressed in traditional uniforms. They were carrying old Kuban Army ("Voisko") banners and flags (some over 200 years old).

It's quite a large organization, as there are stanizias in US, Canada and Australia. Kuban Cossack Corporation Library and Museum is dedicated to preserving Cossack heritage and educating for future generations. There are many members who are Don Cossacks, and the organization welcomes ALL Cossacks. Most original members are deceased and are buried in the Sveto-Vladimir cemetary. This area around Lakewood NJ was settled by many Russians including Cossacks after the Civil War and again after WW2. The Museum has an excellent collection of Cossack flags, uniforms, weapons, and Imperial Russia era documents granting land and liberties to the Cossacks.
