DNREC’s Division of Parks & Recreation, Cape Henlopen State Park, and the Fort Miles Museum and Historic Area will host the annual Delaware Goes to War event at Fort Miles beginning at 10 a.m., Saturday April 27.

There will be live 1940s-era music by the WW Tunes, plotting-room demonstrations, vintage military vehicles, a U-858 surrender re-enactment and more.
