"This is a really cool place to go to learn about history way back in the day, great place to take your kids to teach them about the history of Ft. Wayne! I took Owen and he was amazed people use to live there and that it was a real Fort at one time! He really enjoyed himself! If you haven’t taken your kids, you should!!"
"Old fort park is ok. It's more of a historical place-marker, sine, and stone water well; that symbolizes the struggles of an expansionist invasion into other nation's territory. Without a water well inside the walls of the original old fort it would have been burned to the ground with the same tactics used by general Anthony Wayne; who notoriously burned native Americans alive in there home's earning him the title "mad" Anthony Wayne. Hopefully we never forget how the genocidal war failed to be stopped because the placement of a well inside a fort."
"Good example what life at the ‘then’ frontier was like"
"It's a historical site, when they do the reenactments you can buy goods from people and watch the enactments"
"Shout out from Wayne (Passaic County) NJ across Wayne PA to Fort Wayne IN"
