About Whiting
The railroads had brought what settlers there were. In 1850, when the federal government ceded the area to the State of Indiana, it was classified as swamp land and was notable for little more than its great sand ridges parallel to Lake Michigan. In 1851, the Michigan Southern Railroad, the first of three rail lines, was built across the wilderness. German settlers, lured by high wages of $1 a day, followed to build and maintain the railroad tracks.

The local cultural icon, Mr. Pierogi leads the Polka Parade, chats with young visitors, and has had his picture taken over and over again at the Pierogi Festival. Mr. Pierogi and his Pieroguettes (Miss Potato, Miss Cheese, Miss Mushroom, Miss Berry, Miss Beef, Miss Apricot, and Miss Sauerkraut) sing and dance during the Mr. Pierogi Musicale presented on Saturdays. Big time favorites are "Pierogi" the festival anthem, sung to the tune of "Matilda" and the charming "Whiting, Indiana" song.
