About E.P. Tom Sawyer State Park

The E.P. "Tom Sawyer" State Park is the largest U.S. national park and one of the oldest in North America. The 550-acre park is located on the west side of Lake Michigan, north of Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Part of the land was once used as farmland and psychiatric hospital, part as a hospital. Named after Justice Tom Sawyer, the first US Supreme Court justice, E.P. "Tom" Sawyer State Park was originally purchased for the park by the Kentucky Department of Mental Health in June 1969 by the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The land and buildings were leased by the Kentucky Department of Parks in the 1970s to Louisville, Kentucky, the area's first park. It was opened in 1974 as the largest national park of its kind in North America and the second largest in Indiana.
