About the book "Lithuanian Landmarks in the USA"

Lithuanian-Americans built over 100 Lithuanian churches, 50 Lithuanian cemeteries, and erected over 150 Lithuanian monuments in the USA. They also established substantial Lithuanian museums, convents, and clubs. Some of the world's most important Lithuanians are buried in the USA, and have streets named in their honor.

Visitors are amazed by these unique sites due to their size, opulence, and historical importance! Grand Lithuanian-American churches have become major landmarks.

Some Lithuanian-American clubs are older than the Republic of Lithuania itself. The Modern Lithuanian architectural style created by Lithuanian-American architects is unique, having no counterparts in either Lithuania or the USA.

Over the course of 7 years, authors Augustinas Žemaitis and Aistė Žemaitienė drove more than 34,000 miles across North America, visiting, mapping, and photographing each and every Lithuanian heritage site, and learning their stories.

With almost 1000 of their best photos, 14 maps, and many pages of information, this album-atlas aims to describe the entire grandeur of "Lithuanian America"!

In order to buy the book, please contact Aistė Žemaitienė at aiste.zemaitiene@gmail.com.

The price is 30 EUR + shipping expenses. The price is valid until Ferbruary 1st, 2025.
