About

If you would like to make your next event truly historic, our facilities are available for rental, including the picturesque Shields Room, which served as the former city council chamber when the building was still Fort Wayne's city hall. This room has been used for lectures, conferences, retirement parties, weddings and wedding receptions, and can comfortably seat up to 160 guests banquet-style, or can accommodate up to 200 guests for cocktail parties or lectures. A smaller room is also available for more intimate events, and a board room is available for your business meetings or smaller gatherings.

Reviews of History Center

The History Center in Fort Wayne was perfect for my recent wedding. The staff were great to work and the coordinator Steve Toor was a big help throughout the planning process and the day of our wedding. The venue is gorgeous and it has such a wonderful historic vibe. It was the perfect set-up for us to have the ceremony and reception in one room at the same location. And our guests were able to look through the exhibits before and after the ceremony, which they really enjoyed. I would definitely recommend this venue!

The History Center in Fort Wayne IN was one of the best places for your wedding. Not only is Steve wonderful to work with but the location is just beautiful any time of year, right in the heart of Fort Wayne. You get so much value for the location and the option to use the outside court yard. Steve had great referrals for anything we needed. We didn't use to many be he always had answers. It does take a little bit to get a email back but he always does. The only down side is the very small kitchen space, so choose a caterer wisely and I wish the security, you have to have if your servicing alcohol, didn't look like he just got off an all night binder.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
