Located close to the southern shore of Lake Michigan and the Indiana Dunes, the city of Chesterton, Indiana has its roots in the fur-trading industry as far back as 1650.

History lovers can spend some time admiring the old buildings in the Commercial Historic District.

Art lovers can visit the Chesterton Art Center and admire several local galleries.

However, outdoor pursuits in the wonderful Indiana Dunes State Park are Chesterton’s primary draw-card – here you can enjoy three miles of beach and over 16 miles of trails – picnic areas and campgrounds are available.
