Support local businesses by shopping small! In many of the downtown areas, you’ll discover a variety of independently-owned shops, many of them carrying products from local vendors and artisans. Chesterton, Valparaiso, Crown Point, Highland, Hobart and Rensselaer all have downtowns with stores as well as restaurants to try.
2 Old Goats Market in Cedar Lake is a fun place to treasure hunt for antiques and artisan goods. In St. John, Sweet Home Indiana Gifts has a mix of country farmhouse, vintage, garden and industrial decor for you to browse through.
