Before Cape Henlopen State Park

By Kathy Sperl-Bell

Do you know the history of Cape Henlopen State Park? It’s one of my favorite places to walk or take a bike ride, so I WWII Outlook at Cape Henlopen State Parkdecided to brush up on my local history. Before it was Cape Henlopen State Park, this strategic location in Lewes, Delaware, was Fort Miles. A critical component of this country’s defense in World War II, Fort Miles protected Wilmington, Philadelphia and other key cities in the Mid-Atlantic region. I found this great video at the web site of the Fort Miles Historical Association that I wanted to share with you. The Association is making great progress toward their goal of restoring Battery 519 and creating a museum commemorating the historical significance of the park we now enjoy.

The video is a little long but it is worth watching and learning more about the history in our town of Lewes, Delaware.

In much of the country, Realtors are feeling the pain of boomers’ inability or unwillingness to invest in another home while the economy remains stuck in a rut.

Since the interview conducted early this summer, Sperl-Bell has seen a dramatic increase in home sales to boomers getting ready for retirement in the Lewes, Delaware, area. “There is a lot of new construction in the communities in and around Lewes that have specific appeal to those 55+, and my clients can tell the difference.”
