Chesterton, Indiana
A mere 50 miles away from the Windy City, Chesterton, on the banks of Lake Michigan, is a lovely town drenched in history. The Indiana Dunes State Park is a major draw and celebrates the dunes that took thousands of years to form.
The 2,182-acre park features dunes almost 200 feet above Lake Michigan and a magnificent three miles of coastline. There’s also the 157-acre Coffee Creek Preserve, which consists of prairies and wetlands.
Cultural attractions in Chesterton include the Westchester Township History Museum and the Historic Commercial District.
The commercial district spans three acres of one of the most charming towns in the Great Lakes. It includes vintage Italianate and Romanesque architectural styles.
