In June 2012, the Ohio State University forensic anthropology team, using ground-penetrating radar was unsuccessful in its attempts to locate the exact site of the fort. The question remains, was the blockhouse situated where the monument is or perhaps it is where the Memorial Hall stands today.
Construction of Memorial Hall was to honor the centennial of the War of 1812 and completed in 1916. It fell into disrepair over the years, but was preserved in 2012 in preparation for the war's bicentennial.
August 19-21 Fort Jennings held its annual Fort fest to honor the centennial of the building.
