St. Joseph

The history and romance of a hand-carved carousel has become one of the symbols of a city reclaiming its past. Lake Bluff Park, over looks Lake Michigan and yet is within walking distance of the downtown.  The natural beauty of the area’s unique sand dunes draws thousands of visitors each year. With its proximity to Chicago, just 90 miles away, St. Joseph is a natural escape from the metro area. The county seat of Berrien County is a deep water port and its marinas accommodate the big lake boaters, as well. Festivals and art attractions lure more visitors each year.
