Welcome to Fort Wayne, Indiana! We are thrilled to host the 2013 Federal Genealogical Societies Conference from August 20-24 in our first-class and downtown facilities: the Grand Wayne Convention Center and the Fred J. Reynolds Historical Genealogy Department at the Allen County Public Library. The two buildings, along with the Hilton and Courtyard hotels, are within a one block radius of one another, providing easy walking convenience during the conference.
While in Fort Wayne, you will notice our clean and visitor friendly downtown streets will lead you to many fun activities. The Fort Wayne Tincaps will host league-rival South Bend from Aug. 20-23 at the eye-catching Parkview Field. The historic Allen County Courthouse is a must-see for any history or architecture buff. Surround yourself with nature at the Botanical Conservatory with its lush seasonal displays, such as the Tropical Garden, where orchids and palms thrive in the shadows of a cascading waterfall, or retreat to the quiet beauty of the Desert Garden. We also suggest making stops to Science Central and the Fort Wayne Museum of Art.
Away from downtown, check out two of Fort Wayne’s shopping centers: Glenbrook Mall, Indiana largest shopping center, and Jefferson Pointe, an outdoor shopping mall. If you’re in the mood for a group tour, we recommend exploring cinda b and DeBrand Fine Chocolates.
These ideas are just a few ideas for your visit to our charming city. We hope participants from FGS will walk away with memories that will last a lifetime!
