Repository for the items collected by the Allen County-Fort Wayne Historical Society, The History Center has some 23,000 items and documents relating to the history of the city and county. Starting with the Native American cultures that once occupied the land and moving forward through time to the creation of the city and then to the local 19th and 20th century industry, the museum does an excellent job of tracing regional history, incorporating dioramas, hands-on activities and antique items. The downtown museum resides just a block away from both the Fort Wayne Museum of Art and The Lincoln Museum.
Open Mon. - Fri. 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.; Sat. noon - 5:00 p.m.
Adults $5; Seniors and Students $3.
