92 County Walk- Lake County

This stainless steel sculpture is made up of one sphere that bobs beneath the delicate curl of a limestone wave. Lake County borders the tip of Lake Michigan thus represented by a wave. Furthermore, this county is also ranked among the nation’s top steel-producing states. This piece is very simple and clean.

Lake Michigan’s tip forms a portion of the county’s northern border and provides port for the export and import of Indiana’s goods. Also, due to Lake County’s steel production, Indiana ranks as the top steel producing state in the nation.

Designers Jeff Laramore and David Jameson Young of 2nd Globe, an Indianapolis –based artistic company designed all 92 and the county sculptures featured on the outside of the Indiana State Museum. Their designs narrate the counties’ famous natives, historically significant events, or their fabricated and installed by various Indiana sculptors, carvers, class workers, metal workers, and other artisans.
