This image from the Mockler Collection at the Porter County Museum was taken during the interurban’s inaugural run in Valparaiso on July 4, 1910. Pioneer Flats (now Pioneer Apartments) can be seen in the background.

Join the Valparaiso Chain of Lakes Watershed Group for an engaging evening of history, live music, and complimentary refreshments. 



The evening will feature a slide show and presentation by Ed Seykowski that explores the history of the Valparaiso & Northern Interurban Railroad. Live music from the interurban’s era will be performed by the South Shore Brass Band Quintet.

 Refreshments and a Q&A session will follow the presentation and musical performance.
