Cedar Lake was once the place to go to let off steam and cool down during the Summer months. The Lassen's Dancing Pavilion was a popular spot to dance and have some refreshments. We're busy making videos about historic structures in NWI, so stay tuned for a video all about Lassen's Resort.

Ann Gregory was born in Mississippi and came to Gary in the 1930s, where she met her husband Leroy Gregory. She took an interest in golf and began winning tournaments in the late 40s.

Gregory worked to break racial barriers. She was instrumental in desegregating the city’s 18-hole public golf course in the early 60s. “My tax dollars are taking care of the big course and there’s no way you can bar me from it,” she told the clubhouse attendant at the South Gleason Park course. The club let her play.

We found this photo while researching for a short project on the North Gleason Clubhouse. We're interested in any stories or images you may have about the historic structure.
