Historic Fort Wayne, Inc. will be hosting its annual Muster on the St. Mary’s – A Timeline Event at the Old Fort in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The event will be open Saturday, May 10, 10:00 am – 5:00 pm and Sunday, May 11, 10:00 am – 4:00 pm. Reenactors  from Roman Times to World War II are welcome. This event allows visitors to the Old Fort an opportunity to learn about these different periods of time.  Soldiers and civilians dressed in period attire interact with the public and answer questions as they go about their daily activities in their camps and throughout the fort. There are weapons demonstrations, fashion presentations, and cooking demonstrations. Artisans are also welcome to demonstrate their craft.  There is no battle re-enactment. Registration is required. First time participants must submit photos of themselves, members, and camp. First time vendors and blanket traders must attach photos of the camp and time-period appropriate merchandise. Join us!
