Civil War Days is the annual Civil War Living History hosted at Historic Fort Wayne. Since the Fort saw it's first service to our country during this conflict, it is fitting that this is an annual event. In 2013, we have moved the event away from the summer's heat and vacation schedule to September. Look for more details for re-enactors and guests alike very soon.
