Chellberg Farm
Chellberg Farm is an historic farmstead which in 1972 became part of Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. Chellberg Farm is significant as it represents the ethnic heritage of a nearly forgotten Swedish-American settlement. The farm includes a family home, water house with windmill, chicken coop/bunkhouse, and the original barn. Other nearby Swedish landmarks have been restored or preserved, including the Burstrom Chapel and the Burstrom Cemetery.〔United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service; NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES, MULTIPLE PROPERTY DOCUMENTATION FORM; Selected Swedish Farmsteads of Porter County, Indiana; July 10, 1994〕
==Swedish Community==
Swedish immigrants located in Baillytown, in Porter County, Indiana for several reasons, one being that there were new jobs available, another because like most immigrants, they sought out others like themselves. Baillytown's proximity to Chicago connected it to the larger paths of Swedish immigration from the 1840s to the 1920s. The railroad came to the region in the 1850s and it provided for settlement and the transport of lumber from the lakeshore. A local story has it that an earlier Swedish immigrant, Jonas Asp, aided Joel Wicker in recruiting Swedes, including the Kjellberg family to work his lands.〔William J. Ahrendt, "Reminiscences of the Baillytown Area: A Lecture to the Duneland Historical Society", in Duneland Notes (April 1980) Norris Combs ed., Duneland Historical Society, Chesterton, Indiana〕 These settlers then encouraged friends and families to join them.〔A. Goodspeed and Charles Blanchard, History of Porter and Lake Counties, Indiana (Chicago: F. A. Battey and Co., Publishers, 1882; reproduction, Evansville, Indiana: Unigraphic Inc., 1979), P. 290-312〕 The immigrants provided the necessary labor force for developing farmland, railroads, and industry in the area. The close-knit Swedish-American community emphasized their cultural heritage, teaching their children Swedish, establishing Swedish churches, and participating in social events where Swedish traditions were observed.〔Chellberg Farm, Cultural Landscape Report, pg 17〕
