Returnees from across the Atlantic in Kaunas

Guided tour in Kaunas city center "Returnees from across the Atlantic in Kaunas"

Let's look for echoes of America in Kaunas: in the "newly dressed" Vienybės aikštė, Laisvės alėja, and S.Daukanto and Kęstučio streets. The Statue of Liberty and the Liberty Bell, presidents and golf, diplomats and soldiers, Hollywood productions and Lithuanian cinema, Fords and Fordsons (tractors), art and business, the lives and fates of American Lithuanians... "Compatriots, whom we call Americans, return or come to visit with huge rings on their fingers, thick watch chains, without beards or mustaches. They testify that America is truly a land of great opportunities and almost miracles." (J.Jurginis, "Travel Novellas", 1939) Tour start: Vienybės aikštė, by the Statue of Liberty End: Kęstučio g. 57a.
