● The fi rst ‘interstate’ highway in America was built
in the early 1800s and is called the National Road (from
Maryland to Illinois). It is now an All-American National Scenic
Byway and travels right through Indiana. Highway 40 follows much
of the original road. Look up www.route40.net.
● Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore is home to the unusual
phenomenon of the ‘singing sands,’ areas of the dunes that emit a
strange, low-frequency sound under pressure. Just walk on them to
hear them ‘sing’!
