Fort Delaware and Tyler Arboretum
First lunch in New Castle at Jessop's Tavern with "colonial costume and eats". Over 300 beers available, not bad. Then a visit to Fort Delaware which was really cool. We took a 15 minute boat ride to the fort. It was POW days, with war re-enacters including a musketry demonstration and Victorian children's games.
Fort Delaware is where over 12,500 Confederate soldiers were imprisioned during the Civil War, most were captured in Gettysburg. The Fort was also used during WW1 and WW2.
Tyler Arboretum
A nice day hiking through Tyler Arboretum. Cool trails, treehouses, wooded glens, enchanted forests, butterflies, and goats. And then we went to Catherine Rooney's to watch the Euro final and France lose to Portugal.
