The History Center is home to the Allen County-Fort Wayne Historical Society, its museum, and collections – and the building itself plays the largest part in telling visitors their history. Built in the 1893, the History Center building was originally Fort Wayne and Allen County’s City Hall building.

It became the History Center in 1980 and now houses, preserves, and shares historic artifacts, images, and documents that tell the story of its fascinating history to all visitors. From the people who lived there to the important places they have, the History Center encapsulates the heart of Fort Wayne with over 26,000 artifacts for visitors to appreciate.
