Nouvelle Annee 

January 25, 2025  Saturday Only: 10 am - 5 pm

The year dawns anew at Post Miami. It is the early days of 1745 at this French colonial outpost situated beside the great Native American Village of Kekionga of the Myaamia Nation. The new year brings troubling news from the east, a new war has begun with England. On the Atlantic coast battles are being fought and fortresses laid to siege. But at Post Miami, there is trouble of a different kind; the flow of trade goods is being cut off due to the war in the east.  The traders have little goods to offer the Native Americans. Unrest grows as the short supply of goods continues to hamper the lucrative trade.

Come experience a day in the life of the early inhabitants of Fort Wayne. The Old Fort will host French Colonial reenactors with displays of domestic life, the economics of the fur trade, and military life. See skits illustrating the tension of this time, recreating actual historic events which occurred in 1745 near what would become Fort Wayne, Indiana.
