In accordance with the measures being taken by other local institutions, as well as recommendations from local government regarding the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the LST Memorial will close to the public beginning Monday, March 16 and will remain closed through Thursday, April 30.    

Our primary concern is the health and safety of our visitors, volunteers, and staff members, many of whom fall within the most vulnerable age range for this outbreak.  Tours of the LST-325 involve being in close proximity which violates the recommended “social distancing” practices.

In the meantime, please take necessary precautions to stay safe and healthy.
