About Munster

Munster is a Lake County town in Northwest Indiana, about 30 miles southeast of the Chicago Loop and just east of the Illinois line. Its geography still shows in the nickname "Town on the Ridge," tied to Ridge Road and an ancient Lake Michigan shoreline. Munster has a polished suburban feel, with schools, Centennial Park, bike paths, lakes, and a local arts program. It is also known to craft beer fans as the home of Three Floyds Brewing Company.
