About this event
This is not just an excursion. It is also a visit to the home of Colonel Domininkas Grabys and his family, who lived in Panemunė during the interwar period. In the resort of wealthy villas and the residential district for officers in the temporary capital, Panemunė, military engineer and Colonel Domininkas Grabys built his life with his family during the interwar years. He was the first and last head of the Linkaičiai armament workshops, awarded the Order of the Lithuanian Grand Duke Gediminas, 3rd Class, in 1933, and the Lithuanian Independence 10th Anniversary Commemorative Medal.
