Indiana Dunes National Park Ornament

Bring home the unique charm of Indiana Dunes National Park Ornament, the nation’s first park in Indiana. Known for its towering sand dunes, wetlands, prairies, forests, and migratory birds, this ornament celebrates the diverse landscapes shaped by wind and water over millennia.

Each piece is crafted from premium birch wood and handmade in the North Georgia Mountains. The layered design adds depth, while natural grain and hand-painted accents (on the color version) ensure that every ornament is one of a kind.

Design Details

Ornament 1 – Silhouette Style
Features rolling dunes with subtle outlines of Mount Baldy, waving dunes grasses, regional wildlife, and an engraved skyline hinting at Chicago far across Lake Michigan. The outer ring includes GPS coordinates (41.65° N, 87.13° W) plus iconic landmarks like Cowles Bog and Hoosier Prairie to highlight the park’s varied ecosystems.

Ornament 2 – Color Style
Painted in beach sand hues, dune greens, and sky blues, it evokes a warm summer day. The details include blue marsh water, golden grasses, and a shaded tree line, creating a scenic snapshot of inland dunes and wetlands.

Why This Ornament Stands Out

• Celebrates Indiana’s first national park, officially designated in 2019—formerly a national lakeshore.

• Captures dynamic dunes including Mount Baldy, a migrating “living dune”.

• Depicts diverse habitats—from wetlands at Cowles Bog to tallgrass prairie in Hoosier Prairie.

• Includes wildlife and migratory birds, reflecting the park’s ecological richness

• Stylish display options: choose between minimalist silhouette or vibrant color accent

Materials & Craftsmanship

• Laser-cut from high-quality birch wood

• Hand-painted and sealed (color version) for lasting vibrancy

• Measures approximately 3.5 inches in diameter

• Lightweight and ready to hang with a pre-drilled loop

• Designed and constructed in the North Georgia Mountains

Shared Features of All Our Ornaments

The Indiana Dunes National Park Ornament in our collection honors the unique story of a national park. Crafted by hand, no two are identical due to the natural wood grain and stain variations. We laser-cut, engrave, hand-paint (where applicable), and seal each piece with care. This ensures every ornament—from Acadia to Zion—is a high-quality, heartfelt reminder of the places you love.
