It extends from the Indiana Dunes \u003cbr\u003ethat line the shore and continues south, to the rolling hills \u003cbr\u003eof the Valparaiso Moraine. The township is home to four \u003cbr\u003eincorporated towns, the Burns Harbor Plant of Bethlehem \u003cbr\u003eSteel, and two large expanses of public land--the Indiana \u003cbr\u003eDunes National Lakeshore and the Indiana Dunes State Park. \u003cbr\u003eWestchester Township tells the story of the people who \u003cbr\u003esettled the township and those who contributed to its growth \u003cbr\u003eand transformation into a vigorous and diverse community. \u003cbr\u003eThe photographs date from the early 1850s through the early \u003cbr\u003e1960s, focusing primarily on the period from the 1880s to \u003cbr\u003ethe 1940s. The majority of the images were drawn from the \u003cbr\u003efiles of the Chesterton Tribune, which has served Westchester \u003cbr\u003eTownship and the surrounding area since 1884. Additional \u003cbr\u003epictures were kindly loaned by a variety of local citizens \u003cbr\u003eand institutions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Westchester Public Library\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531660762\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531660765\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/21\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Westchester Public Library","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46383929491711,"sku":"9781531660765","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9029a53e-2327-4012-b336-1b63e798600e.jpg?v=1733282111","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/westchester-township-westchester-public-library-9781531660765","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
