2016 Fort Miles Interactive Garrison

Joe spend last weekend at Fort Miles and shared pics of the event. Thanks for sharing the info!

He wrote, "Fort Miles, a WWII era Military Garrison is along the coast in Lewes, DE. This event provides an interactive garrison exhibit that is conducive to educating the visiting public on the function and significance of Fort Miles during the second world war. The 261st Coast Artillery along with the 1252nd Service Command Support Unit (motor pool) was on hand for the day. During the Cold War years, Fort Miles served as NAVFAC Lewes from 1963 until 1981 as a US Navy SOSUS listening facility."

    Lewes Delaware was the scheduled site for the fall meet of the Willys Overland Jeepster Club last September, but they had hurricane force winds and rain which basically cancelled the meet. Fort Miles was one of the tours scheduled. Having family in southern Maryland, I really thought about going, but airfare and rental car costs became a big factor in my decision not to attend, but I still want to see Fort Miles.
