Indiana’s Best Hidden Gems

INDIANA PUTS ITS BEST FOOT FORWARD IN SUMMER WITH FUN AND DELICIOUS ATTRACTIONS

By Maggie Heath-Bourne

The Busching Bridge in Versailles State Park was built in 1885.

T

here’s no better time for a road trip than summer. With the windows rolled dow n and t he highway stretching in front of you the road offers endless possibilities for fun in the summertime. The following destinations can be taken as a short road trip or individually for the perfect summer experience in southern Indiana.

INDIANAPOLIS CULTURAL TRAIL Indiana is full of hidden gems, but the capital city itself has some of the state’s best public art. The Indianapolis Cultural Trail is an 8-mile path for pedestrians and bicyclers, along which visitors can see seven public art installations.

One of the trail’s unique stops is Chatham Passage, which is more for the nose than the

eyes. Created by artist Sean Derry, Chatham Passage is a sunken vault covered by a steel grate, located in an alleyway. Beneath the surface, a scent machine releases a fresh floral smell in honor of the Real Silk Hosiery Mill, which was located off the alley in the 1920s. Nate Swick, communications coordinator for Visit Indy, says the smells honors the women who once worked there, adding, “The factory always smelled like roses.”

Chatham Passage is located in an alley off of the 700 block of Massachusetts Avenue.

Nearby is the Glick Peace Walk, so named for Gene and Marilyn Glick whose legacy made the Cultural Trail possible. The Glick Peace Walk features 12 sculptural gardens celebrating the lives of people who made an impact on humanity through peaceful pursuits. Among the trailblazers honored are

Booker T. Washington, Susan B. Anthony, Martin Luther King Jr. and Jonas Salk. “The main reason to walk down Walnut Street is because it’s decked out with luminaries,” Swick says.

BEIERSDORFER ORCHARD Located less than 45 minutes from Cincinnati and less than 90 minutes from Indianapolis is Guilford, Ind., home to Beiersdorfer Orchard.

Hilda and Bill Beiersdorfer have been a staple of Guilford for 50 years. That’s 50 years of apples, plums, peaches and pears, all grown on their 121 acres. Even Hilda Beiersdorfer had to check her math. “Can that be right?” she muses. “We don’t know where the time went!”

The Beiersdorfer name has been in farm-

Midwestern Traveler ing for about 100 years, according to Hilda.

Bill’s father owned a peach farm in the aptly named Peach Grove, Ohio, which he worked on growing up. When Bill and Hilda got married they operated the property, but soon the land began to get bought up.

So they moved to Guilford where they will soon celebrate their golden anniversary at

MORE FUN En route from Beiersdorfer Orchard to Versailles State Park take a quick stop in Milan for the Milan 54 Museum, home to the Hoosiers Collection. This special exhibit houses uniforms worn by the 1954 Indiana State basketball champions and the Milan Indians, as well as movie props from the 1986 movie Hoosiers, which got its inspiration from the ’54 team and its road to success.

VISIT

the orchard.

The business has been kept in the family and is now five generations strong thanks to help from the Beiersdorfer’s children and grandchildren. “It’s family oriented, but the kids have to do everything,” Hilda jokes.

And this help translates to variety in activities and available treats at the orchard.

Tours are available for people who want to see the fruits go from tree to treatment. “It’s educational because we show them how we package the apples and we stress the importance of local produce,” says Hilda.

It is because of this packaging process that visitors can get apples and apple cider year-round at Beiersdorfer Orchard.

Visitors can also buy apple butter with or without sugar, as well as pumpkin, peach and pear butter, popcorn and fruit baskets.

Beiersdorfer Orchard also has cider available at multiple Kroger locations around the Tristate. Beiersdorfer Orchard, 21874 Kuebel Road, Guilford, Ind. 812-487-2695, beiersdorferorchard.com. M-Sa 9 a.m.-6 p.m., Su 1-6 p.m.

SOUTHEAST

VERSAILLES STATE PARK Now that stomachs and—let’s be honest—trunk space have been stuffed with fruit, Versailles State Park offers plenty of recreation just a 40-minute drive away.

As the second largest state park in Indiana, visitors can enjoy a wide range of activities from fishing to hiking to horseback riding. “A lot of people come to reconnect and restore,” says Versailles State Park office manager Natalie Brinson. “Sometimes you need to get outside.”

The 230-acre lake offers anglers an opportunity to take in a morning on the calm lake, while rowboats, canoes and kayaks are available to rent for anyone hoping to get moving on the water.

For those interested in exploring nature on solid ground, Versailles offers 60 miles of hiking and walking trails for all levels of explorer, plus mountain biking trails and 20 miles of horse trails for those looking to bring their four-legged friends along. A dam in the park provides a scenic overlook

Midwestern Traveler Lanthier Winery has a simple philosophy: “the best wine is a wine you like.” So says co-owner Tami Hagemeier, whose husband, Chris Lanthier, is the cellarmaster.

“We’re not snooty,” says Hagemeier.

“We’re pretty laid back.”

This philosophy certainly carries over into the wine list, which includes 15 wines handcrafted by Lanthier. These wines include Festival Cherry, Strawberry Blush and a list of seasonal wines such as Snowflake White and Rudolph Red available after Thanksgiving.

Its berry wines are so popular, according to Hagemeier, that Lanthier Winery holds an annual Tutti Frutti promotion each June for its large selection of sweet and semisweet fruit wines. Dry wines are also available year-round and each wine at Lanthier comes with a lengthy and refreshingly low-key food pairing list.

The Rivertown Red, a dry wine, pairs with “Mexican, Creole, pizza or BBQ,” while sweet wine Mill Street White complements chocolate mousse, lamb and the invitingly vague suggestion, “cheddar cheese dishes.”

Interpret as a wonderfully crafted soufflé or right off the block—the experience is up to you.

For visitors who just can’t stop thinking about these food pairings, lunch can be called down to the gardens from one of several local eateries for a picnic. The gardens’ outdoor gallery, hosting sculptures by local artists, provides a serene backdrop for picnickers and strollers alike.

These gardens, maintained by staff master gardeners, feature three seasons of bloom and include a rotation of peonies in May and lilies in June. Additionally, the garden features 100,000 daffodils and a wide selection of summer annuals. According to Hagemeier, these features are what make Lanthier truly special. “You’re not just coming for the wines. You’re coming for the experience,” she says.

Groups looking to learn more about winemaking can sign up for cellar tours and learn about Lanthier’s process. Garden enthusiasts can also take tours with a master gardener to learn how the gardens are designed and maintained in what

A City for Anyone and Everyone

WHY CHICAGO IS THE PERFECT FALL GETAWAY FOR YOU

By Haley Jena

P

op quiz: Where can you feel at home while noshing on a hot dog loaded with more ingredients countable on one hand, walk through illustrious grey and black skyscrapers, cheer on a World Series-winning baseball team, breathe in the beauty of nature, take a selfie with a mirror-cloaked bean, shop ’til you drop and beyond—all in one place? It’s none other than Chicago, Ill. It’s almost hard to believe that the thirdlargest city in the U.S. is in the Midwest, let alone under a five-hour drive from the Tristate. With options for both night crawlers and outdoor lovers, for both shoppers and foodies and for any other crowd, this city is entertaining, affordable and just what you need to jumpstart your fall.

“This is a time where the city comes alive,” says Choose Chicago President and CEO David Whitaker. “There’s so much natural beauty with the changing of the leaves. We start neighboring a little more brisk weather and there’s plenty of things to do in an indoor and outdoor setting.”

One could live in the city forever and not be able to see everything it has to offer, but we’ve narrowed down the essentials for your getaway bucket list.

Probably the most recognizable sculpture in Chicago is Cloud Gate, popularly known as “The Bean,” in Millenium Park.

Chicago’s most-visited attraction is Navy Pier, drawing in about nine million visitors each year. Visitors can look one way to enjoy lakeside views then turn around to catch an incredible skyline view. Located on the shore of Lake Michigan, visitors can go shopping, ride a Ferris wheel, catch a movie or live show, grab dinner or hop on

the city’s famous water taxis.

Beyond the pier, perhaps the most recognizable sculpture in Chicago is Cloud Gate, popularly known as “The Bean.” This elliptical sculpture sits in Millennium Park and is composed of highly polished stainless steel plates acting as a giant mirror reflecting the skyline and its approximate

Midwestern Traveler three million yearly visitors.

After taking a #BeanSelfie, visitors can stroll over to Buckingham Fountain in Grant Park. The famous film spot for the Married With Children theme song and the center of Lollapalooza, this fountain and park provide peaceful views and a relaxing outdoor experience in the middle of a metropolis.

Next, go eye-to-eye with the city’s skyscrapers by riding up 103 floors (1,353 feet in the air to be exact) at the Ledge, located in Willis Tower. The Ledge features clear, glass boxes that extend out 4.3 feet from the tower’s Skydeck, providing an unobstructed and exhilarating view unlike any other.

Additionally, don’t forget to treat yourself along the Magnificent Mile, the famous upscale section filled with decadent shopping opportunities along Michigan Avenue, hit up the Lincoln Park Zoo, take an architecture tour—the opportunities are endless.

Beyond essential tourism spots, Chicago is a huge city for arts and culture. Chi-Town is home for many musicians, artists and several cultural icons, such as Barack and

Michelle Obama, Chance the Rapper and Oprah. Visitors of the city can see where these icons got their genius from—the metropolis is bursting with inspiration.

Take the day off just like Ferris Bueller and wander about in the Art Institute of Chicago, which always promises interesting exhibits, as well as recognizable permanent

works that are breathtaking to see up close.

Looking for laughs? Catch a live improv show any night of the week at The Second City. This iconic comedy club is the home of Tina Fey, Bill Murray, Steve Carell and other mega-famous and mega-funny stars who performed here before fame.

Go front row at a Broadway in Chicago show, or see the city’s talent shine at any one of the Tony Award-winning theaters. Beyond that, the city has a bustling nightlife, perfect

for late-night fun.

“The fall is when theater season kicks into high gear,” Whitaker says. “Beyond t hat, our live music scene is always diverse with gospel, soul, blues, jazz, house, rap—there’s a huge diversity of offerings.”

While Chicago is always buzzing with

overflowing entertainment options only found in a big city, there are more than enough sources of fun for sports and outdoors lovers.

Travel to the nation’s second-oldest ballpark, Wrigley Field, and root for the Chicago Cubs, last year’s World Series winners after a 108-year championship drought. The energy in the stadium is sure to be buzzing and is a perfect go-to activity for any local or tourist alike. If one baseball game isn’t enough, catch a White Sox game, too! For those who aren’t huge baseball fans, fear not—the city has an enormous amount of other sports teams to watch: football with the Bears, hockey with the Blackhawks, basketball with the Bulls and more.

Furthermore, those who seek comfort in the outdoors have several options in the Windy City. Chicago’s Lakefront Trail is an 18-mile paved path along Lake Michigan perfect for walking, biking, rollerblading and more with a gorgeous view of the water. To the other side, there are lush, green parks intermingled with sports

At Lurie Garden visitors can literally stop and smell the roses at this urban oasis. Additionally, there are six main beaches (in the city!) where sun-lovers can catch a tan. For a late night adventure, visitors can go kayaking on the Chicago river at sunset to catch fireworks on the river off Navy Pier.

“We’re positioned right along the Great Lakes and there’s so many amazing parks within the city to enjoy in the fall,” Whitaker says.

With all these alternatives for amusement most would need some time to sit back, relax and recharge—and lucky for its visitors, the Windy City has a stellar food and drink scene—it was recently named Bon Appétit’s Restaurant City of the Year and is “great for foodies,” Whitaker says. No matter if you’re recuperating with comfort food after a long day of fun or gearing up to go out, just like all other aspects of the city there is something for everyone.

Luckily, the two culinary treats Chicago is most famous for happen to be both deli-

cious and easy to find: hot dogs and pizza.

The Chicago dog is a quintessential (and yummy) lunch go-to, loaded with seven key toppings (mustard, relish, pickle, onion, tomato, celery salt and sports peppers).

When your hunger strikes again, grab a slice of a Chicago deep-dish pizza to delight your taste buds.

In the mood for a snack? Devour a bag of Garrett Popcorn, a Chicago tradition since its creation almost 70 years ago. For dinner, nosh on an Italian beef sandwich or hit up a Chicago steakhouse—both city favorites.

For those who love gastronomic choices

pick a spot in any of its foodie neighborhoods, from Chinatown to Greektown to Pilsen and more.

Chicago also enjoys a chic cocktail scene and over 50 local craft breweries, as well as endless options for going out, from cozy dives to crowded clubs. No matter your tastes, anyone’s senses are sure to be delighted during a Chi-Town getaway.

W hile there are several incredible options for any one interest in Chicago, perhaps the most enjoyable part about a Windy City getaway is its strong, welcoming attitude.

“Home is not just where you’re from— home is where you fit right in,” Whitaker says. “And that’s Chicago. We’ve got that Midwestern hospitality and friendliness.

We are a relaxed city—when people come here they feel right at home, whereas other cities might have an animated or fabricated vibe... In Chicago, you can just be yourself, relax and do what matters most to you, in a city with so many options for entertainment or activity,” he says. “We welcome visitors as friends and they leave as family.” n

Michigan’s Northern Adventure NORTHERN MICHIGAN IS PACKED WITH HISTORIC SITES, OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES AND TASTY TREATS SUITABLE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

By Julia Rivera

The Mackinac Bridge connects the upper and lower peninsulas of Michigan.

ALAN WILKINSON

O

ver the years Michigan has built a billion-dollar tourism industry. In 2011, $17.7 billion of direct spending from tourism was poured into the economy, according to the Michigan Travel Commission. In the same year, 33 percent of visitors were from out of state.

Whether you’re from or traveling to the Great Lakes state, one thing is for sure— visiting Mackinac Island is a must.

Even today the sound of horses pulling carriages can be heard all throughout the island. Transportation is either by foot or horse, and the Grand Hotel offers saddle

horses as a way to explore Mackinac Island’s 40 miles of bridle paths.

The Victorian-era Grand Hotel is one of the island’s most popular attractions. This year marks the 130th birthday of the hotel and June 30-July 2 the Hotel will celebrate by holding an Anniversary Celebration.

To commemorate the historic landmark, Detroit Public Television released a documentary in March, Inside Grand Hotel.

The hour-long film explores the hotel’s most famous spaces while also telling the stories of those who have kept the hotel a Michigan landmark.

One of the many benefits of staying at the Grand Hotel is a unique dining experience.

Julie Rogers, the hotel’s director of marketing, says, “We offer a first-class dining experience, which is tradition. After 6:30 p.m. it becomes a special occasion and we require the guests to dress up. Everyone including children dress nicely and it’s a time for families to get together.”

While your food digests, have a seat in a rocking chair and take in the views of the Strait of Mackinac from the world’s longest porch. Rogers says the 660-foot porch was renovated this year to expose the original

hardwood floors as well as add a protective waterproof layer.

The hotel offers a variety of activities for visitors, but travel outside the hotel for a peek into the rich history this little piece of Michigan holds. Fort Holmes is located at the highest elevation on Mackinac Island. Originally named after Britain’s King George III, the fort was constructed in 1814 during the War of 1812 and is still standing today.

Spending the day learning about the island’s history can work up an appetite.

Luckily, downtown is full of eateries un-

like that of any other city. Mustang Lounge offers a casual menu, with a twist. When eating at the lounge it means you’re having a meal in a little piece of history. The structure is one of the oldest on Mackinac Island, and it’s surrounded by original log walls that date back to the 1780s, a half-century before Michigan was even a state. The Mustang Lounge is the oldest building in the state of Michigan to house a tavern and restaurant that is currently operational, according to its website.

For those with a sweet tooth, you’re in luck—Mackinac Island is known for its

delicious homemade fudge. The Original Murdick’s Fudge has been in business since 1887 and has a selection of 21 flavors of fudge from classic chocolate to salted toasted coconut double chocolate.

Working off the sugar rush proves not to be an issue in this area of Michigan. There are a number of outdoor activities from biking to swimming. Diving to explore shipwrecks is also an option. The Straits of Mackinac Underwater Preserve offers a look at vessels that have succumbed to treacherous weather conditions dating back to the 1800s. The preserve contains 12

Diving down to explore a shipwreck isn’t for everyone, but you can opt to take a boat instead. Glass Bottom Shipwreck Tours located in Munising brings you back in time when America shipped items in ships, not planes. The two-hour tour showcases Lake Superior’s natural underwater museum with two different wreck sites, rock cliffs and caves, and a historic lighthouse. Check

out a rare, fully intact, wooden sailing ship that was built before the Civil War and sits only a few feet from the surface of the lake.

If you’re looking for something a bit sweeter, less than two hours north is Paradise, the wild blueberry capital of Michigan. In the 1920s wild blueberries became the main industry of the northern town. Sitting on the water, shoreline steamers transported the blueberry cargo to Detroit, Chicago and Buffalo.

Today, some commercial picking con-

Summer here brings things to do that burst with smiles, laughter, and special moments you’ll share for years to come.

More than just another pretty place, it’s a Michigan treasure.

Midwestern Traveler tinues as wild berries can still be found in the area.

To commemorate the local heritage, the Paradise Area Chamber of Commerce hosts an Annual Wild Blueberry Festival.

Held in the third week in August, the threeday festival provides entertainment such as musical performances, petting farms and pie-eating contests as well as plenty of blueberry-based goodies like pancakes and muffins to snack on throughout the festival.

Paradise is also home to the Whitefish Point Marathon. The 26.2-mile course along the shoreline of Lake Superior is a USA Track and Field-certified course and is now a Boston Marathon qualifying race. After the race, runners can enjoy refreshments including the yooper pasty, a meat pie native to the upper peninsula of Michigan.

Don’t want to run a marathon to get the chance to taste a pasty? Not to worry—head down to Berry Patch Gifts, Bakery and Restaurant. Owner Shirley Clark says, “It’s more of a meat pie than a turnover. It

was brought to the peninsula from New England. Women would make the pasty and wrap it in newspaper for the men for lunch. They would keep it in their shirt to stay warm until lunchtime.”

The yooper pasty, pronounced “passtee,” is a small circle of piecrust filled with meat, potatoes, onions and spices. It was served as a hearty meal to replenish the workers after a hard morning of mining and was easy to consume as it doesn’t require utensils.

Today some restaurants have put a modern spin on the dish. You can find glutenfree pasties, vegetarian pasties, breakfast pasties, pizza pasties and much more! n
