We toured this ship featured in a movie about Iwo Jima.I took a picture of my wife wearing a soldier's helmet on board.These boats were made in Evansville on the Ohio River and have deep ties to the community's history.Worth seeing. More

Is a great stop for someone who can appreciate it for what it is! Amazing sights and most tour guides tell stories and personal accounts of the ship. More

The tours are led by volunteers and they do a great job. There has been some local political distention surrounding the LST which resulted in several volunteers quitting. Don't know if this has been resolved so you might call ahead to see if there is anyone to conduct tours. More

We went with our family of five last summer when our little one was still an infant. Our other two were 7 and 13 (all boys) at the time. We also met up with my brother-in-law, his wife and their two teenaged daughters. Having done the tour myself as part of my job at the local newspaper, I was prepared... More

Very fun and informative! The people that give the tour are very nice and I learned so much about the war and this type of ship that was used. Would be great if the gov. would give them some $$ to maintain it. More

Had an amazing experience! Got a tour from a WWII vet. Not sure if that's the norm or was a special thing, but the ship itself is an amazing opportunity to step back in time and experience a WWII warship. More
