Event details

Cape Henlopen isn’t just dunes and sea views—it’s also one of Delaware’s most compelling WWII sites. This living-history day brings Fort Miles back to life with re-enactors, demonstrations, and hands-on interpretation that makes history feel immediate.Pair it with a long coastal walk or a bike ride through the park’s trails, and you’ve got a spring day that’s equal parts outdoors and time travel.
