8. History Center

The oldest museum in northeastern Indiana, this huge limestone building (formerly the city hall and jail) covers one full block of downtown. The architecture is eye-catching on its own, with original 19th century gargoyles, a massive grand staircase and polished marble. Inside, find two floors of memorabilia and well-planned displays about Fort Wayne's history. The section on the development of electronics in the area is particularly interesting, as it touches on the inventor of the television and the growth of locally based Motorola and General Electric.   (© 10Best)
