Logs to Lustron Tour

Do you favor rustic landmarks, like early log structures? Or are you a fan of Mid-Century Modern-style houses? Either way, we’ve got you covered on the Logs to Lustrons tour. Indiana Landmarks and the National Park Service (NPS) team up to present a dozen landmarks spanning a century of architecture in the Indiana Dunes National Park, including restored residences not normally open to the public and vacant landmarks in need of a new use. Eight interiors will be open for touring.

For the tour, you’ll ride a shuttle that departs from the Indiana Dunes Visitor Center to a dozen sites that date from the mid-nineteenth to mid-twentieth centuries—log structures from early settlement days, frame homes from the Victorian period, and mid-century homes of glass, stucco and metal.
