The Coalition once again restarts our popular weekend guided tours. We'll also be hosting Early Riser Vintage Baseball and will soon present many of our larger events beginning with Civil War Days in June!
Please note that masking and social distancing protocols remain in force on fort grounds until further notice.
Our Events page will be updated as more information becomes available.
Almost every Saturday and Sunday our historians are here to guide you on a fascinating two hour walking tour through the fort and some of its buildings. Tours are just $5 per person and depart the Visitor Center at 11am and 2pm.
NOTE: To ensure your place, we strongly encourage purchasing reservations in advance here on the site.

Historic Fort Wayne regular operating hours are every Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 4pm, May through October. Longer hours during many special events. Guided tours are available almost every weekend and weekday tours are available by appointment.
Can't make it to the fort as soon as you'd like? We're looking forward to your visit, but in the meantime you can learn a little about Historic Fort Wayne right here on the website. You can even take a virtual tour!
Historic Fort Wayne Coalition is the volunteer organization responsible for much of the maintenance at the fort. We're a non-profit dedicated to preserving Fort Wayne's history and the legacy of those who served here during its 128 years of operation.
We've got some unique items in our online store, just for you or the history lover in your life. Our shopping cart is safe and secure so order with confidence. Every cent of profit goes toward the fort's day to day maintenance.
