Take advantage of what downtown Fort Wayne offers.

Another premier Fort Wayne attraction is the Genealogy Center at the Allen County Public Library. This collection is the second largest in the United States, but is the largest public library collection.  The Genealogy Center has data from the United States and Europe and is continuing to grow its collection of information.  Library patrons may check-in for access to one of the many computers to start searches or start where they left off last time around.  For those that enjoy tracking their ancestry, watch out, you can spend months here and never run out of data to research.

All in all, Hotel Fort Wayne is a highly recommended choice for those that want to experience everything Fort Wayne has to offer. Their charming staff can make recommendations, arrangements and point you in the right direction.
