About Ogden Dunes.
Founded in 1925, Ogden Dunes emerged as an exclusive resort community on the southern shore of Lake Michigan, quickly becoming a retreat for Chicago's elite during the Roaring Twenties. Initially accessible primarily by boat and rail, the town's relative isolation added to its allure, offering a pristine escape amid the natural beauty of the Indiana Dunes. Over the years, Ogden Dunes evolved from a summer haven to a year-round residential community, all while preserving its unique charm, recreational, ecological and architectural heritage.
