OLD FORT PARK AT LEWES
TO BE HISTORIC SITE
The Old Fort Park, across
the street from the post office is to be a historical spot, The fort
dates
back to early history of
Delaware, with a number of iron cannon of the past laying there,
without the attention they
deserve, for years.
More visitors are more
impressed by the magnificent old oak tree that stands in the quaint
church yard, yards away,
and instantly recognize its antiquity as one of the oldest trees in
the state.
The canon will be
rehabilitated, mounted on concrete forms, ready to repel any
intrusion in the
Delaware Bay for centuries
to come, with an appropriation of the State Historical Museum
Association.
Reconstruction of the old fort into a park can be expected within the
next year.
Then Lewes will have
someplace to direct its visitors attention and become a favorite
breathing space for all
Lewes residents.
