Come with me to Tippecanoe River State Park where there is so much to discover! Hear about the history, fire tower, diverse ecosystems, wildlife, camping, generous community, and activities at this beautiful park.
I learned about the Works Progress Administration (later renamed Works Projects Administration) on several sites: Britannica, PBS, the state of North Dakota, Indiana DNR.
If you’re staying at the campground, go for a ride or run on the Panhandle Pathway.
Learn more about black oak savannas and their importance from the National Park Service. Watch this video of a glass lizard! They’re really cool!
If you want to help out with the Friends of Tippecanoe River State Park and stay up to date with events and the WPA cabin project, be sure to follow them on Facebook.
Listen to “Tippecanoe River State Park: History, Diversity, Community” on Apple or Spotify.
You are going to learn about:
The importance of the Tippecanoe River
Diverse ecosystems like black oak savannas the park is restoring
The park’s origins with the Works Progress Administration in the 1930s
