Valparaiso

Valparaiso is best known in northwest Indiana for Valparaiso University, a private institution whose campus is a major presence in the city. Set on the Valparaiso Moraine, a glacial ridge south of Lake Michigan, it has rolling terrain uncommon across much of northern Indiana. Downtown centres on the Porter County courthouse square, while the Memorial Opera House, opened in 1893, continues a local tradition of live performance. Shops, cafés and civic spaces give Valparaiso a regional role beyond the university calendar. Browse nearby webcam locations for complementary perspectives on Valparaiso and northwest Indiana.
