[Season 3 - Episode 52] Ft. Miles - WWII Base, Soviet Sub Tracking Station, Bazooka Training Area, or Military Beach Resort? Yes. Ed Paterline takes us behind the scenes at Lewes’ Most Famous Fort.

Tucked under sand and towered over by trees inside Cape Henlopen State Park, Ft. Miles was once an active military base from World War II through the Cold War and into the Vietnam War. Ed Paterline, Fort Miles Historical Association Board Member, takes us through the fort’s storied history and how a determined group of volunteers, mostly retired, turned an abandoned piece of history into a remarkable museum through old-fashioned grit and determination. They’ve helped bring history alive.
