A winter posting at a frontier Fort was never an easy task. Soldiers had to chop wood to stay warm and cook their own meals. Natives were always around in 1812 and many could not be trusted to be friendly. Visit with the soldiers and feel what it was like to live in a frontier Fort during the winter. Experience life at a frontier fort, for yourself during Old Fort Wayne’s Winter Garrison on Saturday, February 22 beginning at 10:00am.
The Fort will be open to the public: 10:00am – 5:00pm on Saturday, February 22.
Admission: Freewill donation.
