The locked except for a strip along its northwest border, creek’s mouth was blocked by a sand bar created a border set 10 miles north of the southernmost tip by alluvial deposits, wind and wave action over the lake’s surface. On the day the Sea Serpent arrived, the depth of the harbor was so reduced, the ship had to be pulled over the sandbar by hand using ropes from shore. At that time, the federal government wanted to create a port on the southern shore of Lake Michi- gan, and Trail Creek became a logical choice for that port. To the west, Chicago also became a con- tender for those same funds, and a feud erupted, the outcome of which would decide which city on Lake Heisman Harbor remains a vibrant element of Michigan City’s lakefront. Michigan’s southern shore would become the home Photos by Paul Kemiel of a great, deep water sea port. In 1780, Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, son of a French trader and slave girl, built a farm at the mouth of what would become the Chicago River, named for the onions that grew wild on its sandy banks. In 1803, the United States built Fort Dear- born on the south bank of the river. The fort was destroyed by an Indian raid in 1812, but was rebuilt in 1816. Settlers began to move into the area to begin farming the rich prairie soil.

In 1893, shortly after the World’s Columbian Exhibition, Heisman decided to settle in Michigan City, a town that must have looked rather peaceful after the hustle and bustle of the World’s Fair in Chicago. He was 32 and had already lived a life fi lled with adventure on the high seas. It was time to settle down, but not quite yet as his life of adventure continued. He joined the local Life Saving Sta- tion in Michigan City, established in 1888 to rescue boat crews from the raging wind and waves. While working in the dangerous lifesaving service, Henry met Hulda Rehbein, and they were married on Dec. 2, 1899.

A large crowd consisting of family, friends, college roommates, former students and colleagues, and community members turned out June 24 for the ofﬁ cial dedica- tion of the former Elston theater as the Holdcraft Performing Arts Center. The theater is named after Stan Holdcraft (pictured here with his wife, Barb), a teacher and theater director in Michigan City schools for years who has remained active with Young People’s Theatre Co. The program included not only comments by a clearly moved Holdcraft, but also YPTC board members Arturo Pozos and Aaron Garrett. Other speakers included Mi- chael Gresham, a YPTC parent-volunteer, and MCAS School Board Member Beth Pishkur. Brandon Williams, who appeared in several YPTC performances Holdcraft directed, sang The National Anthem, while YPTC performer Laurel Blankenship sang “What I Did for Love” from “A Chorus Line” to bring the program to a close.
