2024 South Wayne Historic Home and Garden Tour

Stroll the tree-lined sidewalks of an early 20th Century neighborhood with its charm intact at the 2024 South Wayne Historic Home and Garden Tour, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 22, benefitting both the Historic South Wayne Neighborhood Association and ARCH Inc. The heart of the neighborhood is a National Register of Historic Places District, featured on the tour, inviting tour guests into 10 homes plus an additional garden. Marvel at the mix of architectural styles and enjoy the stories of the people who built the neighborhood. The big story is Fort Wayne's own Wildwood Builders and its architect, Joel Roberts Ninde, famous early woman architect. South Wayne has more of her homes than any other neighborhood in Fort Wayne, and one of them will be open for this tour. Parking will be available at the tour headquarters at 3000 South Wayne Avenue, where ticket buyers will pick up their tour brochures and maps, and at South Wayne Elementary School across the street at 810 Cottage Avenue.
