The Hammond Rock Carvings

An out-of-the-way corner of Hammond, Indiana, hosts 12 straggling carvings on six limestone blocks that line the lakefront just south of Chicago’s Calumet Park, which itself boasts nearly 1,500 carvings. Access to the carvings, adjacent to Veteran’s Memorial Park, is through an archway that belonged to the NIPSCO power plant once located here.

This map is both printable and interactive — each carving links to its image. Or scroll down for a gallery of all the carvings at Veterans Memorial Park.
