Visit Us!
At O’Gara & Wilson, you may find what you are looking for – a paperback mystery for yourself, a nicely bound gift for a friend. These finds are the small triumphs of used bookstore shopping.
But they are not the great triumphs. In used bookstores, great triumphs are always the unexpected fruits of browsing. They seek you out, rather than the reverse. Your eye is drawn, perhaps, to a lower shelf, or a darkened corner. What is it? Come and find out!
Discover the Dunes!
Less than an hour from Chicago, and only minutes from Exit 26A off I-94 or from Exit 31 off the Indiana Toll Road, our shop is in the downtown Chesterton Commercial Historic District. We're five minutes from Indiana Dunes State Park, ten minutes from Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, and just blocks from the Prairie Duneland Trail. And every Saturday from May to October, the Chesterton European Market takes place right on our doorstep! While you're in Chesterton, visit one of our many local shops and restaurants, including:
