The plan accomplishes this task by: a. focusing interpretive efforts on a site-specifi c theme b. identifying needs for guided and self-guided interpretation, and c. recommending actions to fi ll those needs. The process of developing interpretive recommendations considers three components: a. Resource. What are the natural and cultural resources of the site.? b. Visitor. Who are the current users? What are the untapped audiences? c. Agency. What is the mission of the agency? What are the management goals within the agency? Other regional interpretive experiences and partnerships are incorporated to stretch staff and fi nances, foster cooperation and prevent competition. Several factors make the plan important for Indiana Dunes State Park: • In 2016, Indiana State Parks will be celebrating its 100th birthday. • The Indiana Dunes Nature Center opened int 1990. Most of the exhibits have been unchanged and are showing their age. • Indiana Dunes is unique from other parks. Recommendations need to refl ect: 1. Most of the park’s visitors are day use only.

The most prominent early line of travel on land in southern Indiana was the Buffalo Trace, also called the "Kentucky Road," "Vincennes Trace," "Clarksville Trace," "Harrison's Road," "Lan-an-zo-ki-mi-wi," etc. It entered Indiana at the Falls of the Ohio, passed in a northwesterly direction and left Indiana at Vincennes. As a line of travel between the same two points, this old trail was as prominent in 1800 and pre- vious thereto as the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad is to-day. The buffaloes passed over it in great numbers, and kept it open, in many places twenty feet wide. It was a beaten and well worn path, so prominent and conspicuous that, in 1804, it was used by General Harrison and the Indians to locate a treaty line.^ Forty-three miles of it, from "Clark's Grant" to the east line of the Vincennes Tract, in Orange county, were surveyed by "calls," that is, by courses and distances, by Sur- veyor William Rector, in August,^ 1805.

Such suspicions are only too fully justified. In fact I see by a letter from Monsieur de Bienville,3 dated February 4th last, that the Sieur de Bertet, major commanding at Illinois4 has informed him that the voyageurs who had arrived from Canada the previous autumn had reported to him that the Scioux, not content with having broken the peace they themselves had gone to ask of you, had also induced the Renards to join them in a fresh attempt against the French, and that the Sakis not wishing to take part in this league had wholly separated themselves from the other tribes. 1 2 See Wis.

    Capacity-Cost Indexes for Indiana Local Governments 2002 and 2018

    Capacity-Cost Indexes for Indiana Local Governments 2002 and 2018 Larry DeBoer June 2020 About the Author: Larry DeBoer is a professor and extension specialist in Agricultural Economics at Purdue University, where he has earned a reputation as one of the state’s foremost experts on Indiana tax and budget issues since joining the faculty in 1984. He studies state and local government public policy, including such topics as government budget and taxing options, issues of property tax assessment, local government revenue options, and the fiscal impact of economic development. Professor DeBoer worked with the Indiana Legislative Services Agency on tax and finance issues from 1988 to 2014, and continues to contribute to LSA’s annual property tax analysis. DeBoer directed a study on market value property tax assessment for the Indiana State Board of Tax Commissioners during 1995-97, and oversaw the staff work for Governor O’Bannon’s Citizen’s Commission on Taxation, 1997-98. A decade later, he contributed research to Governor Daniels’ Commission on Local Government Reform (2007) and has studied the effects of the constitutional property tax caps enacted in 2008-2009, including a 2015 report – ‘What Do We Know About Indiana’s Property Tax Caps?’ – for the Indiana Fiscal Policy Institute. DeBoer was the 2009 recipient of Purdue’s Hovde Award for service to the rural people of Indiana.
