Living in Cedar Lake, IN

In the days when Crown Point was heralded as the "marriage capital" of Indiana, it was the beautiful Cedar Lake where couples often spent their honeymoon. This historic town claims the focal point of an 800-acre lake, which made it a popular summer vacation destination for Chicago residents around the turn of the century. As late as the 1920s, the area bustled with hotels and steamboat tour lines. The largest structure remaining from that era is the Lake of the Red Cedars Museum. The 1950s saw several big-band dance halls spring up along the shoreline, including the popular Midway Ballroom that was destroyed by fire as late as 1987. While the heyday of the town as a tourist attraction has passed, newcomers to modern Cedar Lake will enjoy the small-town atmosphere and a variety of housing options from cozy cottages to newer construction. Local parks and a community center provide facilities for parties, meetings, picnics, sports play, recreational activities, and swimming. The town is also home to the 110-acre campus for the private Baptist institution of Hyles-Anderson College.
