Hamilton Field (Fort Wayne)

Hamilton Field (nicknamed Grand Duchess is a former baseball field located in Fort Wayne, Indiana, United States. The ground was home to the Fort Wayne Kekiongas of the National Association for the 1871 season. The field was named after Allen Hamilton, who donated land for the field.

The field is believed to be located at the corner of W. Main Street & Camp Allen Dr., just west of the Main Street Bridge, in Fort Wayne. However, other sources have said the field was located at the corner of Lewis & Clinton (present day Freimann-Foellinger Botanical Conservatory; and a plaque at Headwaters Park says the Fort Wayne Kekiongas played their games, including the first professional baseball game, at League Park, on the east side of Headwaters Park.
