Strap on your boots and step back in time with us as we explore one of Fort Wayne’s most iconic historic landmarks: The Old Fort.

In this episode, historian, reenactor and storyteller Harrison Snyder guides us on a captivating journey through the fort’s rich past—sharing tales of the men and women who lived, worked, and defended this frontier outpost. From the daily rhythms of life on the edge of the wilderness to the challenges and triumphs of the people who called it home, Harrison brings the 1800s to life in vivid detail.

We also dig into the massive reconstruction effort currently underway, revealing how dedicated volunteers are rebuilding each structure with care, craftsmanship, and historical precision. It’s a passion project that keeps Fort Wayne’s heritage alive for generations to come.

The Old Fort isn’t just a landmark—it’s a beloved piece of our city’s soul, and we’re honored to share its story.
