Historic Walnut Square

Downtown Terre Haute is best known as the home of top-ranking Indiana State University, considered one of the nation's best public universities. But while the story is often about the Sycamores, there's more to this neighborhood than meets the eye. Downtown Terre Haute, just minutes from the Wabash River, is home to great restaurants, museums, shops, and historic architecture.

The Swope Art Museum features more than 2,500 works of art by American artists, housed in a historic building dating to 1901. Nearby along Wabash Avenue, the Terre Haute Children's Museum provides interactive exhibits based on science and technology. Walkable and vibrant, living in Downtown Terre Haute means easy access to a variety of popular restaurants, theaters, boutiques, and other businesses. Fairbanks Park, located along the river, is a gathering place for residents and visitors, offering a playground, picnic areas, and an amphitheater where concerts are held.
