Historic Old Fort
Be a Tourist in Your Own Hometown
Sunday, September 11, 2011 from 12:00 am-5:00 pm
 
Join the city attractions of Fort Wayne opening their doors for our residents to celebrate at no charge.  Hear the cannons roar and the rifles and muskets fire, listen to the soldiers as they complete their drills, talk with the cooks who make the food for those who live at the Old Fort.  Join the Civil War re-enactors at the Old Fort as they return to the time when families were divided.  There will be soldiers and their families to talk with, as well as children games and various demonstrations to either participate in or observe.
 
Admission of a free will donation is appreciated.
 
Location:
The Old Fort is located right over the bridge as you are going north on Spy Run Ave. You will want to go to Fourth Street and park at Lawton Park and enjoy the short stroll down the River Greenway until you reach the Fort.
