Enjoy free admission to Indiana Dunes for one day only this summer
Sunday will be a great day to enjoy some of the country’s greatest treasures at no cost.
Admission to any national park will be free for one day only.
Sunday’s discount is to commemorate the passing of the Great American Outdoors Act in 2020, which provided additional funding to national parks and public lands.
Indiana is home to two national parks —Indiana Dunes along with George Rogers Clark Park.
If you are unable to take advantage of the deal this weekend, there is no need to worry as admission fees will also be waived on September 28 for National Public Lands Day and November 11 for Veterans Day.

Indianapolis firefighter hospitalized after battling fire at vacant home
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A firefighter for the Indianapolis Fire Department was sent to the hospital Wednesday after battling a fire at a vacant house.
According to a Facebook post made by IFD, the fire happened around 10:15 a.m. at a house on Bluff Rd. IFD says that there were several complications, including limited access to fire hydrants and “interior hoarder conditions” that IFD says was due to squatters.
