With restored former fire trucks and horse-drawn vehicles used within the city, it was a really neat experience! The staff was super friendly, knowledgeable, and also active firefighters within the city. Two floors and several rooms, you can see up close current restoration projects they're also working on. Admission was only $4 a person, and well worth the stop!

I attended a wedding at the Old Bag Factory, which is... an old bag factory! I think the name is…read morekind of funny and not the most appealing, but it is what it is! The building itself is very large and made up of several shops. The venue space is upstairs and also very large. The ceremony took place in a room with lots of great natural light. The only complaint is that the big pillars obscured the view of the wedding party for some guests. The reception happened right down the hall from the ceremony area, with the buffet line, hors d'oeuvres, bar, gift table, and guestbook table lining the space between. Everything was spread out to give enough room without feeling like you had to walk a mile to get anywhere. The bartenders were great and super friendly. We were seated by a very loud HVAC unit which made it tough to hear the MC and some of the speeches. The middle of the room was the dance floor area, which was pretty small but not a lot of people were dancing. The venue was simple and a little industrial, but a nice blank canvas for decor. Finally, the parking was a little cramped with not a lot of spaces; I believe some people had to park across the street so try to get there early if you need extra time.

This was my first time here but the staff was very helpful and pointed us to the wedding. The entire wedding and venue were beautiful!! The exposed wood and white lights created a rustic feel for the wedding guests. The food and drinks were both delicious...I think they were from the restaurant at the bag factory. There are different shops/ restaurant on the first floor at the bag factory. I would love to go back and see what else they have to offer.

Very interesting houses submitted... I took a picture of three of them which were spectacular. The other areas cover pretty much the history of this area. 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!

I attend the annual Festival of Gingerbread held here every single year (I even entered when I was in middle school) and enjoy the tradition of seeing the beautiful building and the flashback to Fort Wayne back in the day. I've spent time going through the exhibits and have also attended a wedding here, so the space is definitely versatile. I've learned quite a bit about local history, but I also think the space could use a little updating. Many of the exhibits haven't changed in the decades that I've been visiting. The gift shop also has many of the same things from year to year. This is a great place to learn about Fort Wayne, but I'd also like to keep learning and would enjoy a fresh perspective during my traditional visit.
