"We did the lantern tour for Halloween, had a great time, and learned quite a lot as well."
"Fun experience for the whole family! Amazing work performed by committed volunteers! Fright Night was a blast!"
"Even though the Fort is closed because of Covid right now, it was still a wonderful place to spend visit. The grounds were kept up and just as I remembered it as a child. I cannot wait to go back after they are doing reenactments again."
"A most amazing place. I can't say enough about the old fort. One of my favorite place's of all time! If you can, GO SEE IT!"
"The Old Fort is a replica of the last fort built in Fort Wayne, based on the actual plans obtained from the Library of Congress. It was completed in 1976 for the bicentennial, then closed for a time before opening again as a non-profit. It is open on specific weekends for events, and if you wander down for a walk during any given day, you may find a willing volunteer who will show you around. Check the website for the official schedule of events and do your best to come see reenactors recreate the sounds and smells of eras past. This site is donation-based only, so everyone and everything you see happening here on any given day is funded entirely by donations from the public. Come take a walk through time and see what put the "Fort" in Fort Wayne!"
