Posted on January 15, 2025 by Dina Miller
Indiana's Cool North is home to charming small towns that offer a blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. Towns with Amish heritage, and Indiana Dune communities with scenic beauty, attract visitors with their quaint shops, peaceful streets, and welcoming atmospheres. Perfect for your getaway, whether you seek relaxation or adventure!
Michigan City Lighthouse and Pier - Yes, the Midwest has lighthouses
In Michigan City, a supreme stretch of powder-soft sand lines the shore at Washington Park, drawing swimmers all summer long and strollers the rest of the year. Beachgoers claim a spot on the sand, unfurling beach towels for the day before heading to the water or just relaxing along the shore. To add to the lakeside panorama, Indiana’s only working lighthouse, the East Light, stands guard. You also can tour the Old Michigan City Light, now a museum, to learn about the community’s nautical past.
