Historic Sites & Tours
A melting pot of cultures served with a heaping slice of Midwest Americana, Indiana Dunes’ history is rich and hearty, made from a recipe more than a millennia-old. It intertwines the stories of our founders, the pioneering spirit of centuries of immigrants, and innovative strides of our present-day citizens. You’ll see it in the standing homestead of a French fur trader set within the Indiana Dunes National Park, the 9,000-year-old ancient indigenous artifacts at the Porter County Museum, and the Swedish farms, Victorian homes, and railroads stamped across the Indiana Dunes area. Between world-renowned examples of architecture and art, discover our culture on display with each historically restored building, walking tour, and museum our region has to offer.
