Historic Fort Wayne

The Historic Fort Wayne Coalition was formed in 2004 by a group of individuals from all walks of life who share one common goal - to be a positive force for the restoration and promotion of Detroit's Historic Fort Wayne. In 2007 the Coalition was awarded 501(c)(3) non-profit status by the IRS. We work side by side with the City of Detroit Recreation Department, Friends of Fort Wayne, Colonial Dames in the State of Michigan, the Detroit Historical Society, Tuskegee Airmen and other groups. A large part of our membership is made up of "living historians," men and women who enjoy reenacting various eras in our nation's history. We also have many non-historian members who, through contributions of time or funds, help restore and maintain this important historic site for the public's enjoyment. Membership is open to all adults. Participation can be as little or often as you like.
