Historic Fort Wayne

This tour is SOLD OUT. For wait list information, please call 313.833.1801.

Fort Wayne was built in 1845 in response to the looming threat of invasion from British-occupied Canada. The Fort served as an Army base for 125 years, but never fired a single shot towards an enemy. Visitors to the Fort today have the opportunity to see the original 1848 barracks, the Star Fort, the Commanding Officer's house and the Tuskegee Airmen Museum. While public tours are sometimes offered during special events, as part of this exclusive Detroit Historical Society tour, you will have the chance to see more of the buildings on the grounds as well as the Indian Treaty document signed at the site in 1815. This extensive tour also allows participants to partake in the Civil War Days celebration at the Fort. 

Tickets available to members only until June 22.
