Along the Wabash River, every October, you can visit the re-enactment of life as it was in the 1800s at the French Settlement, Fort Ouiatenon. I used to visit a friend who lived a few hundred feet down the road from here. Re-enactment of canoe race, Indian life, woodsmen, hunters, trappers, frontier life. Foods prepared in the authentic way over open fires. Musical entertainment from the period. The "Hunters' Moon" is the big, full moon occuring in October which lights up the sky so that, in past times, Indian and other hunters could see to hunt all night long.

Take a short trip out to Wolf Park. Here you can get up close and personal with wolves, foxes, and buffalo. It is a great trip that the whole family will enjoy. The show is informative with a short walkking tour around the area to visit other wolves. If you can, try and get there in time for the testing of the buffalo. This is where the wolf cubs are taught to hunt the buffalo by their mothers...it';s okay, no buffalo are hurt in this activity! For another great experience, try going out on a night howl-here you start the howling off and the wolves join in, definitely an eerie experience.

Not sure if this is a must-see, but it's kind of neat... it's a large pedestrian bridge spanning the Wabash River between West Lafayette and Lafayette. At the Lafayette side is the Riehle Plaza transportation center, which is neat looking at night (in the day too).

This is where I grew up and went to school. Big annual event is the Feast of the Hunters' Moon at Fort Ouiatenon, a reenactment of 18th Century life in this area. It was a French settlement.
