Rumrunners on the Delaware Bay

Date and Time:
Wednesday, August 14, 2024
1 pm

Location:
DuPont Nature Center
2992 Lighthouse Rd.
Milford, Delaware
Details:

Learn about the history of prohibition on the Delaware coast.

Join The DuPont Nature Center Historical Intern for a brief talk about how our area caught the attention of smugglers and local stories about these high-stakes operations.

This will be the opening of a new temporary exhibit highlighting the fascinating history of rumrunners (illegal liquor smugglers) in the Delaware Bay.

This exhibit will be set up in the DuPont Nature Center for at least a week, so don’t fret if you “miss the boat” on the opening.
