Civil War Days is an annual event hosted by the Historic Fort Wayne Coalition. It is a Civil War re-enactment sponsored to bring back to life the Days of our county’s Civil War for the education of the public.
2010 will be the fifth time this event has been held by the Coalition, though its roots go back to the Civil War Days hosted by the Detroit Historical Museum in the 1980s and early 1990s.
