For anyone in the Philly/Delaware/Maryland/New Jersey area, try a visit to Fort Delaware sometime. We went there today (2nd time for me), and had a really good time. It was a Civil War fort, and ended up also being a prison for thousands of Confederate soldiers.

It is on an island in the Delaware River, and you get there by a short ferry ride on the river. People are dressed in Civil War period uniforms, guns, civilian clothing, etc. Original cannon are still there too.

Just an fyi... :salute:

Forgot the camera; only one far away cell pic of my husband learning about Civil War weapons. But here's a link to a 360 degree panorama of the fort: http://www.destateparks.com/park/fort-delaware/panorama/index.asp
