USS LST 325

We may see a 90 degree day or two this August, but it was another great day today and most of this week! The USS LST 325 is docked here in Jeffersonville, IN below the Overlook on Spring Street. August 21-30 - LST-325 - A World War II troop landing ship has returned to Jeffersonville for a 10-day visit. It generally will be open to visitors from 9a.m. to 5p.m. but will remain open until 7p.m. Aug. 26. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for children ages 7-18 with special rates for groups. The LST-325 was at several battles in Italy and took part in the Normandy invasion in June 1944. On Dec. 28, 1944 the ship helped rescue more than 700 men from a troop transport that was torpedoed off the coast of France, according to the ship's history. Money raised helps the USS LST Ship Memorial Inc, the nonprofit organization that owns and maintains the ship to keep it operating. We have perfect weather to visit the ship or the Kentucky state fair.
