Reviews
"Fort Wayne is open to the public only on the weekends 10:00 to 4:00 but it's so beautiful and it's peaceful. inside those buildings is definitely an experience I urge everyone to go and check it out it's very historical and it's off the water as well so you can go have a picnic if you like just no grilling just bring your food but you'll have a great time. You can see the new bridge being built from Canada and our side too but it's a good experience PS there is no driving you have to go and park in the parking lot and walk the grounds or by bike"
"I had an absolutely wonderful time here definitely will go next year"
"If you are in the area, I recommend checking this out! We went in bad weather, would have been really cool to see everything. We got to go through one building and the area that is under ground, so cool, the brickwork is phenomenal!"
"Must see for military history buffs. Observe a fascinating evolution from mid-19th century brick and limestone fortifications into a tidy early 20th Century Army post and onto WWII and Vietnam. Guns and tanks, barracks and officer's quarters...all await inspection. Some buildings look ready for duty, others are "returning to the earth" so to speak. I spent a leisurely Sunday afternoon walking the grounds. As an Army veteran I can tell you it felt like an Army post, my mind's eye could see soldiers in formation standing over there, marching in column down the street over there. (Quick note: sections of surrounding neighborhoods resemble war zones, keep your explorations on fort grounds.) Got good exercise and learned some great Army history all in a few hours. Worth the visit."
