We had a wonderful time at the All Access Tour of Fort Mott State Park, NJ and the History Tour at Fort Delaware, Pea Patch Island, DE, which are 2 of the 3 forts that were built to defend the DE River. I am really looking forward to "finishing up" the tour of the three pronged DE River/Phila/Wilmington American defenses! The cost is free! I am also looking forward to seeing the Hancock House, which we never got to see last time because of time constraints. We will go for a tour of the Hancock House at 2:00, PO Box 139, 3 Front Street, Hancocks Bridge, NJ 08038, 856-935-4373,
