History Lit by Lantern
Every Wednesday and Saturday, Fort Miles in Cape Henlopen State Park can be toured by lantern.
After an hour description of the on-goings of the area during World War II, the group heads out to the battery down the road and up the Great Dune.
Inside the battery, the air seems blank; air is cool, crisp and clean. Constantly 62 degrees Fahrenheit and dry as a hospital. This is, it was explained, what soldiers would have felt. Humidity or heat and the tons and tons of gun powder and shells that sat in the now vacant, naked, cold concrete rooms.
The tour finalizes with the revelation of the main attraction...that you will just have to see for yourself
