Specialty
104 Indiana Avenue
Valparaiso, IN 46383
Built in 1893 by the local chapter of the Grand Army of the Republic, (the G.A.R.), this 364-seat building is a living memorial to the county’s Civil War Veterans. The G.A.R. wanted to build a memorial that would be useful for the entire local community.
The building is currently owned and operated by Porter County. However, the presence of the G.A.R., the visionaries and original owners of the building is evident even today: beautiful red, white and blue stained glass windows are seen throughout the building and there is a plaque over the entrance honoring “The Soldiers and Sailors of 1861-5.”
Throughout the years, The Opera House has been a venue for theatrical events, including both musical and drama. It was also used for concerts, public meetings, weddings, funerals, presentations, school plays, and graduations.

You’ll never run out of places to go or people to see in Indiana. With five major sports teams, more than a dozen theatres and concert halls, and festivals that celebrate virtually every holiday, food, and music genre, it hard to decide what to do. A little bit of this...a little of that. You really should buy a South Shore Line 10-ride ticket to come back for more and take it all in!
