Today’s Courthouse Square Walking Tour has been postponed.

With high humidity and temperatures expected to continue rising this afternoon, we’ve decided to postpone today’s walking tour of the Porter County Courthouse Square. We want everyone to be able to enjoy the experience comfortably—and fortunately, the stories aren’t going anywhere!

We’re planning to bring the walking tour back in October with a seasonal twist, exploring some of the legends, lore, and intriguing stories surrounding downtown Valparaiso and the Porter County Courthouse Square. We’ll share the new date as soon as it’s set.

And you won’t have to wait until October to hear the stories we planned to share today! We’ll soon release a podcast version of the Courthouse Square Walking Tour, so you can explore these stories wherever—and whenever—you’d like.

Thank you for understanding. We look forward to sharing more great Porter County stories with you soon.

In the meantime, if you’re looking for something to do today, stop by PoCo Muse to explore "Our Heart of Hearts: The Porter County Fair" between 11am–5pm, or head to Hebron to visit the Stagecoach Inn and Panhandle Depot between 10am–2pm. Both are free, fun ways to beat the heat while discovering some great Porter County history!

Step back in time and experience history in action on Saturday, August 22. Join us on the lawn at the southeast corner of the Porter County Courthouse Square in downtown Valparaiso.

Watch skilled living history interpreters demonstrate traditional trades such as carpentry, spinning, and more. Dressed in period clothing, these artisans bring the past to life by showcasing the skills that once shaped everyday life in communities like ours.

This interactive, family-friendly event is free to attend. Ask questions, watch demonstrations up close, and discover how everyday goods were made before factories and mass production.

Drop by with family and friends for this free event anytime between 10am and 2 pm!

Experience our exhibits in a personal way by taking one of Quinn’s free guided tours on the third Saturday of each month.

There’s no need to RSVP, although we do ask that you arrive a few minutes prior to the start time as a courtesy to other attendees.

Join us at Hebron’s Stagecoach Inn as we celebrate the 99th birthday of Kate Wiltfang, who was a founding member of the Hebron Historical Society!

For decades, the Hebron Historical Society worked with Hebron Parks and Recreation to preserve and share the community’s history, helping make the Stagecoach Inn and Panhandle Depot beloved landmarks in downtown Hebron. Kate was there from the beginning, and we’re delighted to celebrate her birthday in a place that represents the lasting legacy of her work and that of her fellow Historical Society members.

Stop by Saturday to explore the Stagecoach Inn, help us wish Kate a very happy 99th birthday, and enjoy a complimentary cupcake while supplies last!

Admission is free.
