FEATURING LOCAL BEERS:

Besides being a yearround attraction, the Lakewalk is also a place of remembrance. There are two areas of hallowed ground honoring veterans who saw duty in Vietnam and Korea. These two war memorials honor the men and women from the Northland who served and sacrificed overseas.

The North Shore Scenic Railroad proudly helped add to one of the memorials when in 2014 the USS Duluth Crewmembers Association, working with the St. Louis County Historical Society, obtained the ship’s huge anchor after the Navy decommissioned the vessel. The USS Duluth served five tours in Vietnam and the decision was made to preserve the anchor in her namesake City. But at 14 tons and 28 feet wide, how to get it in place?

Two Duluth companies and our Railroad figured it out.

To all the veterans riding with us today…. Thank You for Your Service!
