The Old Fort is a faithful copy of the post built by American troops under the command of Major John Whistler in 1815. It is reconstructed on a plot of ground less than a quarter of a mile from the original site.
We offer events and programs highlighting several hundred years of history. Our goal is to educate the community about the Old Fort and its significance to the Old Northwest Territory, the State of Indiana, and the United States during the 17th and 18th centuries.
When in the city, tune into Old Fort Radio 1640 AM or go to facebook.com/HistoricFortWayne for information on our upcoming events.
