点评:We've been to Lewes, DE, and Cape Henlopen State Park many dozens of times over the years, but never made the time to stop at Fort Miles. Glad we finally made the stop! For WWII history buffs, visitors get inside the big gun battery casements that defended the Delaware Bay, and the ports of Wilmington and Philadelphia, from Axis submarine and naval action.
The museum includes free access to the underground gun battery casement, significant historical WWII artifacts and above-ground, artillery pieces are placed exactly how they were during the war.
For the best and most informative experience, look to schedule a "behind the velvet ropes" tour that only costs a few dollar per person. The museum guide provides significant additional details of Battery 519, its personnel and how the facility was constructed and operated during the war. I highly recommend the museum and tour.
翻译:这些年来,我们去过特拉华州的刘易斯和亨洛彭角州立公园几十次,但从来没有抽出时间在迈尔斯堡停留。很高兴我们终于停下来了!对于二战历史爱好者来说,游客可以进入保卫特拉华湾、威尔明顿和费城港口免受轴心国潜艇和海军攻击的大型炮台。
博物馆包括免费进入地下炮台、重要的二战历史文物和地上的炮兵,火炮的摆放位置与战争期间完全一样。
为了获得最佳和最具信息量的体验,请安排一次“天鹅绒绳索背后”之旅,每人只需花费几美元。博物馆指南提供了有关 519 炮台、其人员以及该设施在战争期间的建造和运营方式的重要附加细节。我强烈推荐博物馆和旅游。
