Explore and celebrate our shared Duneland heritage at the historic Bailly Homestead and Chellberg Farm of Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore.
Authentic music, demonstrations, hands-on activities, and plenty of traditional food make this a fun and educational experience for all ages.
Start your day at the Bailly Homestead, a National Historic Landmark tucked away in dense woodland. Learn how Native Americans and early Euro-American immigrants lived, traveled and traded in the Duneland region. Then take a short hike down the trail to the restored Chellberg Farm. The century spanning 1830 to 1930 brought a dramatic shift of land use from small farms like the Chellbergs to a more industrialized society, featuring the rapid growth of transportation corridors and even early flight experiments in the dunes.
Finish your heritage journey at the modern Bailly/Chellberg Visitor Center and meet the diversity of people moving into contemporary Duneland, drawn by industry, tourism, and growing residential communities. Learn how these generations helped create the state park and national lakeshore and how we all can help protect the natural and historic resources of our Duneland home.
Takes place mid-September each year at Bailly Homestead/Chellberg Farm.
