- Summary
- As they settled in Gary, immigrant groups established communities, built churches and schools, and clung to their cultural traditions. Glen Park included Poles, Slovaks, Serbs, Russians, and Italians. Through archival photographs, family snapshots provided by former residents, and shared memories, the reader is taken on a nostalgic journey from the city's founding in 1906 through to the 21st century.
