IT'S PREMIERE WEEK

Join us Sunday, October 11 at 2pm for the Detroit premiere of "Detroit's Fort Wayne: Guarding, Serving, Enduring" hosted by the Detroit Public Library in their newly upgraded theater. Though about two-thirds of the tickets have been grabbed, there is still plenty of room for you!

Come enjoy exploring over 1,400 years of the region's history, told through the lens of the land, people, and buildings that have existed at the Fort Wayne property.

The theater doors opens at 1:30pm. The documentary screens at 2:00pm with a question and answer session afterward. Filmmakers Ryan Betzler and Will Eichler will be on hand as will several of the historians interviewed. The Historic Fort Wayne Coalition will have copies of a book on Fort Wayne and DVDs of the program available for purchase.

Join us for a fun afternoon of history on Sunday! Link via DPL for FREE tickets in the comments.
