Details

For thousands of years, the Indiana Dunes have served many purposes. For early humans, it was a place to hunt and worship. To colonizers and explorers, it was a new land of economic opportunity. For businesses, it was the future of industrialization. And for Hoosiers, the Indiana Dunes are the sacred sands of the Midwest; a representation of the natural beauty found just in their backyard. This Indiana Historical Society exhibit highlights not only the history of the Indiana Dunes but also the people who dedicated their lives and careers to saving them. Scientists, artists, activists and politicians gathered thousands of Hoosiers and Americans alike to raise money, awareness and ultimately petition the state and Congress to intervene on behalf of the Dunes. Even now, a century after the State Park was established, Hoosiers continue to advocate and protect the landmark that has become so integral to northern Indiana’s culture.
