THE FORT IS CLOSED FOR THE WINTER AND WILL REOPEN IN MAY
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 finalist! It will eventually be available to stream but, for now, check out the trailer here.
HFWC two hour guided tours will be available again most Saturdays at 1pm all summer. Start date has yet to be determined. Be sure to join us as it is the very best way to get the low down on Detroit's favorite fort. Our knowledgeable tour guides are looking forward to showing you around! In the meantime, check out our informative audio tour detailed below.
While you're waiting for our guided tours to resume in the Spring, 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 regular operating hours are every Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 4pm, May through October. Longer hours during many special events. Saturday tours can be booked on directly on this site starting in late May or early June.
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 right here on the website. You can even take a virtual tour by viewing the web version of our audio tour.
Historic Fort Wayne Coalition is the volunteer organization responsible for much of the maintenance at the fort. We're a non-profit 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. Our shopping cart is safe and secure so order with confidence. Every cent of profit goes toward the fort's day to day maintenance.
