Information on Cruising Area: Beverly Shores, IN
Beverly Shores owes its existence to land speculation activities during the 1920’s. In May 1927, Chicago real estate developer Frederick H. Bartlett purchased 3,000 acres of lake front lands from the estates of local owners. The development, which included five miles of shoreline on Lake Michigan, stretched from the western edge of Michigan City to the eastern boundaries of the Indiana
Dunes State Park. Most residents and prospective buyers rode the Chicago, South Shore and South Bend interurban to the Lakeshore train station. For more Beverly Shores, IN information
