Late last month we took a road trip to visit Candace's family in Grabill, just near Fort Wayne, and Mercy Ships friends just outside of Detroit, Michigan. We visited many interesting places - including four state parks - on our travels there and back again.
One of our first stops on the way up to Grabill was
Fort Harrison State Park. This is located on the outskirts of Indianapolis and was a former military camp from 1906 until 1991. Fort Harrison State Park was established in 1996 and is one of Indiana's youngest state parks. We enjoyed browsing in the interesting museum as well as walking along a short trail. It was a lovely start to our travels!
Pretty indigenous garden outside the Nature Centre.
Cute little cowboy.

What the Citizen's Military Training Camp once looked like many years ago...
And what it looks like today.
