I still remember the glory days back when I was in grade school where we would go for a visit and see all of the people dressed up in their outfits doing day to day chores at the fort. Those days are past, but the fort still has events on occasion. If you are ever around when one of those events are going I highly recommend going. On other days it is still worth doing a walk around at the fort.
The grounds were well kept.The fort was not open to public but you get the general idea of went on there.We walked the trails surrounding the fort and had a great, safe nature walk.
Very peacful and friendly. Fort Wayne was where I grew up from 1964 to 1968. It looks much smaller than I remember as well as the home I lived in. It was fun taking pictures and going to places that I rember
step back in time when you go to visit. they have various events throughout the year especially during the holidays.
I love taking my 3 year old down here for all the different activities that they have going on. IT is never the same and it is free which is great too. My son loves going to the fort and playing soliders and see the way life was.
Unfortunately the Fort isn't open daily, but during their event weekends they really put on a show! We visited during the 200th anniversary of the siege of the Fort. Re-enactors, demonstrators, soldiers, townspeople, battles—it was truly incredible! Can't wait to catch some more events this year.
We were pleasantly surprised upon stopping at this site and exploring the history through these folks dressed in period costumes, etc.
Well, it is just a wonderful place.....not operating when I visited but the history is incredible and they do a wonderful job with many events and historical characters. One of our jewels in the Fort!
To show the Kids it was here and real not in a book. There are many parts of our History in this Area, We need more for our Children. So that they have a Hands on learning Experince.
We had no idea that Fort Wayne, IN was such an historic area. It was fun learning....especially at the fort.We hit a good weekend as there were people in period costume doing what life at the fort was like in 1754-1763 during the time of Chief Pontiac's Rebellion when it was burned to the ground. I really felt sorry for the enactors as it was a hot, humid day but they all seemed to be enjoying what they were doing.
