Museum and LST 325 Planning Trip to Normandy for 70th Anniversary of D-Day

June 2014

In conjunction with the 70th Anniversary of the D-Day Landing at Normandy, France, the Evansville Museum in partnership with LST 325, Lifestyle Tours, and Collette Vacations, is planning a London- Normandy-Paris trip in early June of 2014. Travel with us as we visit the historic Normandy coast exactly seven decades after LST 325 and thousands of Allied Forces made their fateful landings. We will tour sites at Normandy that recall and commemorate the places where many brave men gallantly fought in a battle that changed the course of the war.

On our trip, we will also spend time in London and Paris. We will visit many of the iconic sites that have made these cities famous as we traverse streets that have experienced centuries of history.  

More details of this trip will be available in the ensuing months. Please visit the Museum’s website for updated information and mark your June 2014 calendar to participate in this meaningful tour.
