The good was the History Center was free because they serve as a bathroom during the farmers market. The bad part was that EVERYONE came in the museum to use the bathroom. Once you get past all of the screaming children, there is a lot to enjoy in the museum. There is a ton of local history and a great exhibit on the beginnings of Fort Wayne. My favorite part was the jail that is in the basement. It looks the same way it was when it was operational a hundred years ago. You can even step in the jail and take your picture. I highly recommend the History Center!

Starting with the ice age all the way to the many industries as well as individual contributors to the city's success and growth. One piece that amazed me was the section where many inventions contributed to the world history. From the Magnavox TV games to the electric motors and truck industry. As I said, it's pretty cozy and you can see it all in around 2 hrs. It has some interactive games for small children. Nothing fancy. Enjoy!

The Quayle Vice Presidential Learning Center in Huntington, Indiana is a museum I have wanted to…read moresee for a long time. This summer I finally had a chance to make a visit there, and it was truly worth the journey. This is the place to go if you want to learn about each of the 50 Vice President - or "veep," as the grandson of Alben Barkley, Harry Truman's vice president, started to call him. Barkley is also the only U.S. vice president to marry while in office as well as the oldest person elected to the vice presidency. Indiana claims as many as six vice presidents, of whom Dan Quayle and Mike Pence are still alive. Two vice presidents, Charles Fairbanks (from Indiana) and George Dallas have had cities named after them. Museum has its own parking lot right next to the building. When the schools are in session, the museum is often packed with students and children, so summer months are really the best times to make your visit. The reason I didn't give five stars is that the museum doesn't have a gift shop, which I always love to visit at museums to buy souvenirs.

My first experience with the Dan Quayle Center and Museum came during a Tenderness Tour event that…read moreincluded a stop in Huntington, Indiana, the former Vice-President's hometown and the host for the Dan Quayle Center and Museum. It is, of course, also the home of Huntington University. I have to be honest and say that I really enjoyed that visit and it gave me super fond memories of the museum. The director that I met was really friendly and let me see as much as I could from my wheelchair. Quayle was Vice-President from 1989-1993 under President George H.W. Bush. He tried to snag the Republican nomination in 2000, though that effort fell short fairly quickly. I'd never really thought about vice-presidents also having any type of museum, though this museum located in an old Christian Science church is actually quite a nice sized museum. Tremendous attention is actually given to all the vice-presidents with each one having on display memorabilia, letters, and more. While Quayle himself has donated much to the museum, other items have been acquired in auctions or on Ebay. Did you know that Indiana has actually been the home of six vice-presidents and three other VP candidates? The upstairs area is primarily dedicated to Quayle himself. There are items from childhood and the infamous dog-chewed law degree. Marilyn Quayle's inaugural gown is here and so is the Bible Quayle was sworn into office on. There is, of course, a gift shop that is actually pretty cool. Over the years, the museum has sort of transitioned from simply a museum to an actual "learning center." In 2008, its name was officially changed to The Quayle Vice Presidential Learning Center. Quayle himself no longer lives in Huntington. So, if you're hoping to catch Quayle popping in you're probably out of luck. However, when he wrote a book they had copies and I was touched that an autographed copy was actually donated to the Tenderness Tour. It continued my fondness for this place. The Quayle Center is open limited hours. So, if you're planning on a road trip I'd be sure to check the hours. This is especially true with the pandemic. Admission is only $3 for adults and $1 for ages 7-17. They also have group rates. Huntington is actually a rather neat little city and worth a day trip. I found students from nearby Huntington University to be incredibly friendly and there are some terrific dining options in town including Nick's Kitchen (famous for their tenderloin). If you have a young one into politics or presidential history, this is definitely worth the road trip.

We saw a beautiful old building and walked closer to get a good look at it. It turned out to be the History Center, and we decided to check it out. It turned out to be a very interesting local/county history museum. You'll learn about immigration to the area, the most important industries, famous people born in Ft. Wayne, and more! The building previously served as city hall, and the basement is the old jail. A highlight of this museum is certainly walking the jail area to see the conditions those accused of crimes were kept in decades ago. This was a very interesting museum, and it was a wonderful introduction to the area for my family. We were lucky to happen upon it.

It's in a real train yard, and you have time before boarding to tour of the engine of a train and speak to people who have been engineers on a train. Truly fascinating. It was a cold day, thankfully they also had a food truck the sold coffee and hot chocolate available, i grabbed a coffee on the way out. They also had a gift shop available, it sold shirts, coffee mugs, carved wooden trains and other items. Once the train was ready, we got coach area and off we went. It was a small train ride, just 20 minutes. This train ride, also was really meant more for children. There was a santa who would go from passenger car to passenger car to great children. I would definitely recommend this one to anyone who has children! The Fort Wayne Railroad Historical society also runs longer rides from other areas and they have interesting events. I would suggest you look at their website: https://fortwaynerailroad.org Again, although this was meant more for children and families with children, it was a fun experience and helped me think of a time where trains were the primary mode of long distance transportation in landlocked areas. It made me want to go on ones more for adults and i may go on another from the historical society. I also want to go and travel long distance on a train to a destination in the future, perhaps one over mountains! That sounds cool! Again, I definetly recommend this!
