One of Fort Wayne’s great spots is the perfect place for locals and visitors to hang out. I’m talking about the Allen County Public Library. The 14 locations throughout Allen County, including the main branch in downtown Fort Wayne, offer a plethora of regularly scheduled activities. There are many things to brag about with this library system, but I’ll limit my praises to 6 reasons.
Allen County Public Library has one of the largest collections of family history in the US. Plus, the best part about the Genealogy Center are the trained genealogists that are on hand to help you discover your family history!
2. Rolland Center for Lincoln Research
Another gem at the Main Branch downtown, is the Rolland Center for Lincoln Research. This treasure trove of Lincoln’s life and times includes artifacts such as newspapers, books, photos, election tickets, and letters and diaries by soldiers from the Civil War. It also features interactive displays and a 360 video presentation. The hours are the same as the library’s branch hours and the public is welcome to stop by and take a look.
