The Federation of Genealogical Societies Conference for 2013 is still several months away, but it’s not too early to begin to plan your preferred method and route for traveling to Fort Wayne. Whether you live in Indiana, in the Midwest, or across the country, getting here is easy!
Fort Wayne International Airport serves four major carriers, Allegiant, American, Delta and United, with non-stop connections to ten airports – Atlanta, Chicago (O’Hare), Cincinnati, Dallas-Fort Worth, Detroit, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Myrtle Beach, Punta Gorda (Fla.), Orlando and St. Petersburg-Clearwater. Beyond those, hundreds of airports are one stop away from Fort Wayne International. Consult the individual airlines’ websites or www.flyfwa.com.
If you plan to drive to Fort Wayne, Interstate 69 comes into the city from the north and south. In addition, Fort Wayne is on four U.S. highways – 24, 27, 30 and 33.
The closest Amtrak stations are in Waterloo, Indiana (about 30 miles), Bryan, Ohio (about 52 miles), Elkhart, Indiana (about 70 miles) and South Bend, Indiana (about 90 miles). Find more information at www.Amtrak.com.
