This is "Historic Fort Wayne", an actual fort from the 1840's right off of downtown Detroit and the Detroit River, not the city in Indiana.

I'm in this a few times. Not many reenactors are young enough to effectively use the youtube or the internets.

Ft. Wayne is the coolest, and littlest known place in Michigan. Everyone should go check it out, especially during one of it's many reenactments
