The ARCH ( Architecture and Community Heritage) and The History Center Walking Tour

Did you know that there is a walking trail tracing Fort Wayne’s history free and open to the public all year long? It follows blue, red and white street signs over four separate routes and is complete with a self-guided tour map available from ARCH or the History Center. Featuring historical markers that describe the significant sites in the region, this unique walking tour is a 1994 Bicentennial Celebration lasting legacy gift to the citizens of northeastern Indiana. All in all there are four trails: The Central Downtown, West Central, South Central and the Kekionga or Lakeside neighborhood taking in the rich heritage of our region. The markers that describe the various stops are oriented for pedestrian viewing, so walking the Trail may be a better plan than trying to sightsee from a car window. Read the rest of this tour information copied from under the heading Side Bar near the bottom of the blog article, go to The Hall Community Arts Center May 2, 2013 on the History Center Notes & Queries blog by Tom Castaldi.
