Historic Fort Wayne is now open DAILY from 6AM to 8PM, May through October. Saturday tours can be booked directly on this site starting sometime July.
Can't make it to the fort as soon as you'd like? We're looking forward to your visit, but in the meantime you can learn a little about Historic Fort Wayne by viewing the web version of our audio tour.
Historic Fort Wayne Coalition is a non-profit volunteer organization dedicated to preserving Fort Wayne's history and the legacy of those who served here during its 128 years of operation.
We've got some unique items in our online store, just for you or the history lover in your life. Proceeds go toward maintaining the fort and educating the public on its value.
