Indiana’s Lake Michigan sand dunes, will be the topic of a program at
Indiana Dunes State Park on Saturday, Feb. 23.
Early Flight in the Dunes starts at 2 p.m. CST at the nature center and will be presented by aviation researcher and historian Simine Short. Short will talk about Chanute’s early attempts at flight and offer insights into his personal and professional life.
