Abstract
This project addresses the gap in education of medieval history being taught in schools. It attempts to fill in that gap by providing information and experiences relevant to medieval history from which people can learn. The problem was to create a park which shows the most amount of historical accuracy possible while creating a destination people want to go to. To do this the site was broken up into distinct areas with different purposes to cater to the wants of as many guests as possible. The park also allows guests to stay the night, creating a resort environment. The project is located in Fort Wayne, Indiana due to its large population and lack of competition with other fairs and entertainment that may be similar to the project.
