The Old Fort, 1201 Spy Run Avenue, will host Post Miami 1755 on Saturday, August 27, 10:00 am – 5:00 pm and Sunday, August 28, 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
Witness the 1700s come alive! Did you know that there were two French forts built in the area? During the French and Indian War, the Old Fort was a French outpost known as Post Miami. This weekend at the Old Fort, the French and British forces clash for control of the area. In addition, fur traders, Native Americans, civilians, and soldiers will demonstrate daily activities. Experience the battles and infantry drills. Watch a cannon being fired. Visit the merchants and talk with historic artisans. Take a tour of the fort.
Please note: The bridge on Spy Run Avenue is undergoing construction and is often down to one lane. Expect traffic delays when visiting the Old Fort. For the utmost safety of our visitors, we strongly encourage you to park in Headwaters Park or Lawton Park to access the fort. Otherwise, please use extreme caution when crossing Spy Run Avenue.
