Last Hurrah 3: Chellberg Farm

Image
Wanted to make a pit stop at the Indiana Dunes (I'd never been), but I chose to do a single freebie and then continue on my way. I still had to get back to Jackson and pack. I was alone in the parking lot, and on the trail leading to and from the house; the house was closed but still rather photogenic.                 

Chellberg Farm

Chellberg Farm is an historic farmstead which in 1972 became part of Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore . Chellberg Farm is significant as it represents the ethnic heritage of a nearly forgotten Swedish-American settlement. The farm includes a family home, water house with windmill, chicken coop/bunkhouse, and the original barn. Other nearby Swedish landmarks have been restored or preserved, including the Burstrom Chapel and the Burstrom Cemetery. [1] [From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chellberg_Farm ]
