The Wreaths Across America Mobile Education Exhibit is a rolling exhibition that brings the local community, veterans,
active-duty military and their families together through interactive exhibits, short films, and shared stories.

The United State Department of the Treasury/Internal Revenue Service has made the Borough aware that IRS field agents may be in the Borough to visit certain residents or businesses related to their federal taxes. The Borough has been informed that individuals or businesses will typically receive a letter in the mail informing them of an upcoming IRS visit and very few “cold calls” occur. This is a regional effort, and Denver Borough is among many municipalities receiving this information.
If you are visited and you cannot verify the IRS employee’s identity, you are encouraged to contact the East Cocalico Police Department at 717-336-1725.
You can find more information about this on the IRS website: https://www.irs.gov/help/how-to-know-its-the-irs
