About this trip idea
Indiana’s seven historic and scenic byways have teamed up to create the Indiana Byways Passport. The passport gives you a guide as you explore the byways, collecting unique stamps from the various locations along the route. Officially endorsed as a Legacy Project of the Indiana Bicentennial, there is no better way to see the Hoosier State.
This trip idea is a sampling of the highlights listed in the passport. You can get your passport at any of the stops listed and collect your stamps at your own pace!
Michigan Road
From north to south, Michigan Road takes you on a journey from Michigan City to Indianapolis to Madison. Dating back to the 1830s, the road is heaped in history related to the early pioneers and the Underground Railroad. Start your journey at the Michigan City Lighthouse, a beacon on Lake Michigan that was built in 1858. Visit the Old Republic, a historic home that now serves as a museum and bed & breakfast. Stop in Logansport at the Iron Horse Depot, an 1885 depot that was relocated and restored as a museum along the city’s river walk. Experience Indiana’s history at the Eugene & Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center in Indianapolis. Shop for antiques at Magnolia Mercantile in Greensburg, and eat delicious food at Osgood Grub Company.
