More about the Village from their website: "The Tri Town Safety Village represents Dyer, Schererville & St John. This is an actual child-sized town that includes replicas of local businesses, a full size Survive Alive house and real railroad and street crossing areas complete with working train crossing and stop light equipment. Four acres at 1350 Eagle Ridge Drive in Schererville is the ideal location for the village. Just West of the Schererville BMW dealer & next to AMC 12."
Thanks to (
