Historic Fort Wayne Coalition is proud to be a part of a new film entitled 'Detroit's Fort Wayne, Guarding, Serving, Enduring,' a New York International Film Awards winner for Best Historical Film! Now streaming at HistoryFix.com.
On almost every summer weekend over many many years, our Historic Fort Wayne Coalition has given two hour guided tours to the public. Coalition volunteers have traditionally provided the very best way to get in-depth insight into Detroit's favorite fort. But, this year, due to reasons beyond our control, we may not get the chance to show off our vast Fort Wayne-centered knowledge. If we finally DO get the opportunity to restart tours again, we will announce it right here!
In the meantime, please check out our informative audio tour detailed below.
While you're waiting for our guided tours to resume, we've got the next best thing. It's a FREE 'location-aware' audio tour titled "Exploring Detroit's Historic Fort Wayne" available for both Android and iPhone. Just download to your phone and let it guide you to 14 points of interest. A simple browser-based version is available, too.

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.
