Northwest Indiana, an area worth seeing
A rich industrial history and stories of interesting characters from the past are among the things that make northwest Indiana worth several stops while “Wandering Indiana.'* Years after settlements and forts had been established elsewhere in the state, northwest Indiana was the home of several tribes of Indians One of the best reminders of those days is the legendary Council Oak Tree in South Bend. The story has it that an alliance between the Miami and Illinois Indians against the Iroquois Indians was signed under this tree in 1681. The treaty was arranged by Robert Cavalier de LaSalle, a French explorer who is reportedly the first white man to step into this region. The tree is in the Highland Cemetery The northwest region gained more importance following the Civil War when the Industrial Revolution started. Lake Michigan and its link to the Saint Lawrence Seaway made the area a prime location for industrialization. Today we can see the many steel mills and other factories that have all been important to the growth of Indiana’s economy
Merkle, secretary; George Myers and Milo Maloy, directors. The association has been inactive since last April. A membership drive will soon be put on by the association.
The Michigan City Pier and Lighthouse remind visitors of the heavy traffic on Lake Michigan leading to the factories. It is Indiana’s only operating lighthouse, and the nearby Old Lighthouse Museum explains the importance of these structures. Rochester has preserved its proud history in two museums. The Civic Center Branch Museum contains an interesting collection including an early 1900 truck and buggy, a homesteader’s wagon, antique furniture, beauty shop equipment from the 1930 s and genealogical files. Trivia buffs will find one display interesting — the display of Elmo Lincoln memorabilia. Lincoln was the first person to play Tarzan in the silent movies. The other museum is the Depot Museum, located in a train depot built in 1874. Fulton County historical information, a 120-year-old loom, an old telephone switchboard and Civil War artifacts can be seen in the museum. For more information about traveling in northwest Indiana, call the toll-free "Wander Indiana’’ hotline at (800) 622-4464.
