From new cultural destinations to a revitalized downtown and unique tourism attractions, they’re ready to welcome you with open arms.
Terre Haute has made a lot of changes in the last five years. New restaurants. New museums. New venues. New opportunities. So, if you find yourself in Terre Haute, you may want to listen closely to all they have to offer. Let’s begin with downtown, the heart of Terre Haute. Every downtown happening, Haunted Haute, Miracle on 7th Street, every parade and celebration takes place Downtown. The intersection at 7th and Wabash is iconic. Downtown is a hub for local artists and art lovers, foodies, coffee connoisseurs, and those in search of a fun night out. Museums like the Terre Haute Children's Museum, the Swope Art Museum, the Vigo County History Center, and the Larry Bird Museum will keep you busy all afternoon. With multiple hotels located near Wabash Avenue, visitors can explore local boutiques, shop until they drop, and walk back to their overnight accommodations. Terre Haute is home to four higher education institutions, including two private schools. Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology has held the number one spot in Undergraduate Engineering Education for 25 years. Saint Mary-of-the Woods College is one of the Best Regional Universities in the Midwest according to U.S. News and World Report. Indiana State University boasts a 99% placement rate after graduation. And Ivy Tech Community College has placed an emphasis on preparing students for the workforce by developing trade school programs. Students from all over the county, state, nation, and world come to Terre Haute to further their education. Some stay and contribute to the community. Some leave and contribute to other communities. Terre Haute builds leaders. And every year at homecoming, those leaders come back. They explore Terre Haute. They keep up with the City’s changes. They stay in hotels; they buy from shops. They make new memories, then brag to friends about their latest trip to Terre Haute. |
