Indiana Dunes National Park’s Happy 60th Anniversary Film
Special Event
Join us as we celebrate Indiana Dunes National Park’s 60th birthday by watching Shifting Sands: On the Path to Sustainability. On Lake Michigan’s southern shore, stunning natural beauty collides with heavy industry like nowhere else in the country. The juxtaposition of a priceless dune landscape and enduring industrial expansion set the stage for America’s most influential environmental battles. The clash over the Indiana Dunes led to policies with global impact and gave Americans their first urban national park. There will be a celebratory cake.
