Harley-Davidson Museum: Situated less than a two-hour drive from Chicago, the Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee is a must for motorcycle enthusiasts. Offering a glimpse of the company’s history, interactive exhibits and an unparalleled collection of artefacts tell the story behind this iconic brand. With more than 450 motorcycles dating back to Serial Number One, the oldest known Harley, this world-class museum is well worth visiting.
Indiana Dunes: With towering sand dunes (reaching an incredible 200 feet in height) lining 15 miles of stunning Lake Michigan shoreline, the Indiana Dunes provide the perfect escape from the sprawling metropolis of Chicago. This beautiful landscape is only one hour’s drive from Chicago, and is the perfect location for swimming, hiking, biking and bird-watching.
Nappanee, Indiana: Although Nappanee can be reached in approximately two hours by car, visiting this tiny town in the heart of Amish country is like taking a trip back in time. The area is a magnet for tourists who come to experience the Amish way of life, and to enjoy the scenic landscape and the fascinating towns dotted throughout.
