It's been several years since I've visited the Gunness exhibit in the La Porte County Historical Museum, but it's peculiar enough to warrant a visit. There's a recreation of the Gunness farm and lots of photos and, if I recall correctly, the wheelbarrow she used to bury her dead husbands. The exhibit's small, only occupying a corner of the museum, but it's not something you see every day. [Dawn Comer, 03/25/2001]
[RA: Aug. 2003: Bill Angrick writes - "According to a newspaper article I read recently the Dr. Kesling Door Prairie Car Museum is building an addition and will then accommodate the entire La Porte County Museum, since the space is apparently needed in the County Court House."]Nearby Offbeat Places
