Never been to Fort Wayne before? If you're planning to spend some time in town before or after the wedding, there is plenty to do. Right next to the Hilton is the Foellinger-Freimann Botanical Conservatory, which showcases a tropical garden with a waterfall and a desert garden. The botanical garden's special exhibit at the time of the wedding will be Flower Power: Summer of Love, a flower display inspired by 1960s counter culture.
There is also the Fort Wayne Museum of Art. Along with their permanent collection, the museum will be hosting a special exhibit in September called We are the Ship: The Story of Negro League Baseball, featuring Kadir Nelson's paintings. You can also find the History Center in downtown Fort Wayne, which features artifacts from the Miami tribe village of Kekionga and Little Turtle, an Anthony Wayne exhibit, and an exhibit that features inventions developed in Fort Wayne.
Northeastern Indiana is also Amish country, so if you're interested in venturing outside of town, 15 miles northwest of Fort Wayne is Grabill, Indiana, an Amish settlement with shops and farm tours. Southeast of Fort Wayne you'll find Amishville, USA, located near Geneva and Berne, that features tours and a campground.
Be sure to check out the Fort Wayne Visitors Bureau for more information.
