We are sad to announce that Dec. 7 Christmas at the Fort and Dec. 14 Christmas Swing Dance are both cancelled due to facility conditions pertaining to one of our buildings on site. These events will return next year. We thank you all for the support in 2019 and look forward to your visit in 2020!
Regular weekend activities have ceased for the 2019 season and will resume again in May 2020.
“Hold My Horse” is a true story about Civil War General Israel Richardson, who entered service at Fort Wayne. It's a short, light-hearted recounting showing true leadership, compassion, and more than a bit of ironic humor.
Only $3 to rent or $5 to buy. Proceeds benefit Historic Fort Wayne Coalition and Save Historic Antietam Foundation (where Richardson was mortally wounded).
