Step into the past when you visit the many historic attractions throughout the South Shore. Buckley Homestead, Chellberg Farm, Bailly Homestead and Barker Mansion are all long-standing homes that give visitors a view into the region's history.
Wander to downtown Crown Point where you will find the historic Crown Point Courthouse. Just off the square sits the Old Sheriff's House, made famous for being the jail that Dillinger escaped from.

Explore the South Shore Civil War Memorial Trail and learn about the brave soldiers who fought for our freedom.
