Bailly Homestead in N.W. Indiana

 A walk though the woods in N.W. Indiana. French Canadian fur trader Joseph Bailly established a trading post here in 1822; the only stopping point between Fort Dearborn/Chicago and Detroit. Bailly was one of the first non-native settlers and Potawatomi were the dominant Native American tribe in N.W. Indiana at the time.
