History lovers spend an exciting day in the 19th century when they take round-trip boat excursions to military sites on the Delaware River. The DRBA’s Three Forts Ferry Service runs between Fort Mott in New Jersey, Fort Delaware State Park on Pea Patch Island and Delaware City in Delaware.

From April through October, visitors experience authentic reenactments of Civil War episodes, both civilian and military, “lantern tours” of the fort at night and demonstrations of how people lived in the 1800s. School groups are encouraged to visit this fascinating glimpse into the area’s history.

Spectacular fireworks cap off the day with the great viewing from both sides of the river at Fort Mott or Delaware City!
