{"product_id":"ogden-dunes-9781467111898","title":"Ogden Dunes","description":"Ogden Dunes, incorporated in 1925, is the largest and most residential of the three Porter County lake-front communities established in the 1920s. Although it began as a highly restricted resort community with the largest man-made ski jump in North America, it became a middle-class residential community after 1945. Because of its proximity to Gary and Chicago, Ogden Dunes was also a battleground between the forces that wished to conserve the dunes and those that pushed for industrializing them. Alice Gray, Diana of the Dunes; Dorothy Buell, who led the fight to create a national park; and Dale Messick, the creator of comic strip Brenda Starr: Girl Reporter were important members of the community. Over the years, Ogden Dunes has provided a creative and supportive environment for children and adults, especially those with artistic talents and interests.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467111898\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 127\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.23h x 6.63w x 0.34d","brand":"Dick Meister, Ken Martin, Historical Society of Ogden Dunes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36652019908764,"sku":"9781467111898","price":21.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_95434c64-56cc-497c-b5f7-bcc7a5bdb088.jpg?v=1603879029","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/ogden-dunes-9781467111898","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
