Fort Wayne
The second-largest city in the state, Fort Wayne lies in the northeast of Indiana, not far from the border with Ohio. A lively yet laidback place, it is an important economic and cultural center, with lots for visitors to see and do in the city.
Founded way back in 1794 by the United States Army, the former fort has flourished into a sizeable city, with arresting architectural styles spied around town. Due to its abundance of Italianate, Greek Revival, and Postmodern buildings, it is well worth taking a tour of its numerous historical and cultural landmarks. Of these, two of the most impressive are the imposing Lincoln Bank Tower and spectacular Saint Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church.
Away from its historical sights and architectural wonders, the city has some delightful outdoor spaces for visitors to enjoy. While you can stroll peacefully around gorgeous gardens and pretty plants at the botanical conservatory, Fort Wayne’s Children’s Zoo has more than 1,500 incredible animals on show, as well as some fun rides and attractions.
