Hammond, Indiana
Hammond, Indiana stands as the first industrialized city in Lake County. While a lot has happened since the city was founded, one thing that hasn't changed is Hammond's role as a fun, vibrant addition to the Chicago area. From its historical district with attractions such as The Little Red School House in Hessville Park, to more modern attractions such as the Indiana Welcome Center with its John Dillinger Museum and exhibits such as "A Christmas Story" Comes Home, Hammond is a must-visit for anyone traveling along the South Shore.
Hammond is also home to great entertainment options such as live performances at Towle Community Theater, as well as gaming and dining at the Horseshoe Casino. Shopping is also a treat in Hammond, with unique antique and furnishing stores, as well as an 185,000 square foot Cabela's retail showroom for the outdoorsman in the family.
Speaking of the great outdoors, the Lost Marsh Environmental Recreation area includes a 330-acre championship golf course, a youth golf academy, and an idyllic nature preserve. If fun on the water is more your style, Wolf Lake provides all the lakefront pleasure you need, and is nationally recognized as one of the best places for windsurfing in the Unites States.
Whether you prefer indoor exhibits or outdoor excursions, you'll find plenty of things to do in Hammond, Indiana, one of the great cities along the South Shore of Lake Michigan.
