  • History of Baillytown and Swedish Settlement
    REDISCOVERING A SWEDISH ETHNIC PAST: - THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE AND BAILLYTOWN, INDIANA* DAVID MCMAHON The Carlsons, Samuelsons, Johnsons and Petersons, whose names abound in atlases and platbooks from 1876 to the 1970s, are of Swedish descent. The area around the Bailly homestead became a busy Scandinavian agricultural settlement. Sarah Gibbard and Robert S. Jackson, 1978 Baillytown: An Overview Around 1850 Swedes began to settle parts of Westchester Township, Porter County, Indiana, near the sand dunes along the shores of Lake Michigan. This rural settlement was known to Swedish-Americans as Baillytown; it became the nucleus of an expanding ethnic community that later included the Swedish immigrants who settled in Chesterton and Porter, Indiana.1 The Swedes established denominational churches and societies that maintained their ethnicity well into the 1920s. They expressed love for their homeland at picnics and celebrations that mixed Swedish and American themes. Swedes, furthermore, contributed to the social and economic history of the area as farmers, railroad workers, common laborers, and prominent citizens. At its founding, Baillytown was intimately linked with the development of nearby Chicago, where the largest Swedish-American community in the nation developed. Baillytown did not have ethnic institutions as highly developed as "Swede Town" in Chicago, but its proximity to that metropolis kept it connected to Swedish-American cultural life, especially as existed around the turn of the century.2 Baillytown's close association with the Augustana Synod enabled it to maintain its Swedishness and resist overt Americanization. Baillytown's first church was founded by early organizers of the synod from Chicago, and it was the birthplace of Gustav Albert 26 Andreen, later president of Augustana College and Theological Seminary at Rock Island, Illinois.3 In the 1960s and 1970s, Baillytown was once again active as an ethnic community after years of seeming quiescence, as former residents began to restore old landmarks and preserve their heritage.

  • The Indiana State Trails · Greenways & Bikeways Plan
    THE INDIANA STATE TRAILS · GREENWAYS & BIKEWAYS PLAN STATE OF INDIANA Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR Governor State House, Second Floor Indianapolis, Indiana 46204 Dear Trail Enthusiasts: With great excitement, I welcome you to travel the path down our state’s latest comprehensive trails plan. Not since our state park system was created has the state undertaken an outdoor initiative of this potential scope. This initiative will soon begin uniting our state’s disconnected routes and place every Hoosier within 15 minutes of a trail. The whole will be much greater than the sum of its parts and will benefit Hoosiers from all walks of life. We doubled state funding from $10 million to $20 million annually to take advan- tage of this unique network of opportunities, and at first glance this is a recreation initiative, but we intend it to be much more. Our trails plan will encourage healthy habits in Hoosiers, boost tourism and enhance Indiana’s ability to attract new investment and jobs. Our trail investments can deliver. As Hoosiers enjoy our new trails, they will be hiking, walking, and rid- ing over miles of new high-speed telecommunications and utility conduits. Access to outdoor recreation also ranks among the features potential companies seek for their employees when locating a business. Real success will require the help of local communities, businesses, and private philanthropies. Let’s join together as we create something that will be the envy of the nation! Sincerely, Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. HOOSIERS ON THE MOVE THE

  • Landowners Receive More Than $7.0 Million to Conserve Imperiled Species Through the Fiscal Year 2004 Private Stewardship Grant Program
    LANDOWNERS RECEIVE MORE THAN $7.0 MILLION TO CONSERVE IMPERILED SPECIES THROUGH THE FISCAL YEAR 2004 PRIVATE STEWARDSHIP GRANT PROGRAM Contacts Patricia Fisher (202) 208-5634 Interior Secretary Gale Norton announced that private landowners and groups in 39 states are receiving more than $7 million to undertake conservation projects on their land for endangered, threatened and other at-risk species thanks to the Administration’s innovative cost-share Private Stewardship Grants program. Administered by the Department’s U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, each of the 97 grants awarded today require at least a 10 percent match in non-federal dollars or in-kind contributions. The new grants will benefit species ranging from the bog turtle in the eastern United States to the O’ahu ’elepaio, an endangered forest bird in Hawaii. “President Bush has made working in voluntary partnership with states, local communities, tribes, private landowners and others the gold standard for our conservation efforts,” Norton said. “The grants we are announcing today meet that standard by empowering private citizens to do what the federal government cannot do alone – conserve habitat for imperiled species on private lands.” The Private Stewardship Grants Program provides federal grants on a competitive basis to individuals and groups engaged in voluntary conservation efforts on private lands that benefit federally listed endangered or threatened species, candidate species or other at- risk species. Under this program, private landowners as well as groups working with private landowners are able to submit proposals directly to the Service for funding to support these efforts. President Bush has requested funding of $10 million for this program in 2005.

  • A Brief History of Chesterton
    A Brief History of Chesterton (All historical photos courtesy of the Westchester Township History Museum) Location: The town of Chesterton is located in Westchester Township, Porter County, Indiana and is about 50 miles southeast of Chicago, close to the southern shore of Lake Michigan and the sand hills known as the Indiana Dunes. First People: Part of a great continental crossroads, the area was for thousands of years home to a succession of early people attracted to its rich animal and plant life. The Miami and Potawatomi of the Great Lakes Woodland Culture were the last of the Native American cultures to hunt and farm the area’s densely forested land. Contact with the French fur traders known as voyageurs began about 1650. The resulting fur trade was initially beneficial to both cultures, but ultimately disastrous for the Potawatomi who, after selling their land to the U.S. government, were forcibly removed from Indiana to the Kansas Territory in 1838. Wars and Conquest: Control of the Great Lakes region passed to the British in 1763 with the victory over the French in the French and Indian war, and to the new nation of the United States at the conclusion of the American Revolution in 1783. What would later become Chesterton formed part of the Northwest Territory until the creation of the Indiana Territory in 1800, and then the state of Indiana in 1816. Founding Families: In 1822 Joseph Bailly, a French-Canadian fur trader, moved with his wife Marie and their family to land that would be part of Westchester Township.
