DSwede Says: One of the mottos of Terre Haute, is "The Crossroads of America".Quite literally, Terre Haute was the original intersection between the principle roads spanning the big US. US-40 going east-west, as well as US-41 going north-south crossed in downtown, feeding millions of...
DSwede Says: Did you know that Terre Haute has a Walk of Fame? It is small and relatively low-key, but it does highlight many of the local celebrities and influential people. Maybe it is not the prime reason to come visit, but if you are a history buff and can manage a two minute walk,...
Orange_traveller Says: One of the nice places to go to is in Saint Mary of the Woods College which is run by Providence sisters. Saint Theodore Guerin who was canonized in 2006 is one of the forerunners of this place. You will see here her exposed 3 finger bones and they have a small museum where...

DSwede Says: Terre Haute does not often get to boast of ethnic foods and variable spice palates. However time passes and the little hamlet becomes a little more cosmopolitan every day. With that change you get places like Umi Grill. It is the best sushi in town and if you ask any local...
Coffee Grounds: Good Cafe & Coffee House
DSwede Says: The Coffee Grounds has been in town for many years, it has become a landmark location. It is a meeting point for many, a study hall for others and still a place to get your caffeine fix with a bite to eat. The inside is typically quiet for those looking to study or catch up...
The Sycamore Farms B&B: Bed and Breakfast
kyoub Says: Our very favorite place to have lunch is in the tea room of the Sycamore Bed and Breakfast. It is in an old restored farm house. They have 3 room that are used for dining. Two are filled with lovely antiques and the third is a sunporch that has a lot of windows so one can...

Verve Sonkas TKsTap Room: Nightlife exists
jperry1000 Says: There is night life in TH! Besides Sonkas Irish Pub--which is sort of a local "Cheers" just east of downtown. Tthe Verve nightclub has live Blues most weekends and a cool atmosphere -also in downtown. TKs sports bar is more local/sports bar/after work crowd but if you like...
Big Lots, TJ Maxx, Kirkland's Home, Super Walmart, Kmart, GFS, Sam's Club, Several different Thrift Stores, etc. Discount shopping is NOT hard to find here.
What to buy: Terre Haute is considered to be a shopping mecca for the surrounding rural areas. Because of this, you'll find plenty of bargain and bulk shopping available in Terre Haute. While the city does not have a Target, it does have a mall with Macy's, Elder Bearman, Sears, and JC Penny.

biltwn93 Says: This area is tough on interacting with people. They are perceived as rude, but it is just shyness and afraid to make eye contact.Many older folks appear to be grumpy! They might not be able to winter in Florida so they are just angry at the world.Some folks feel they are...
Sunnya2519 Says: I'm sorry you had an unpleasant experiance in Terre Haute. I'm guessing you didn't get off the beaten path and into town. I have lived here my entire life and the people here are the nicest people i have ever met. But i do agree, around Interstate 70 where the travelers are,...
Helpfulness
Don't go for the chain food places-Texas Roadhouse, IHOP, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, etc... Packed and they are not worth to cost and wait to get in!!!
Unique Suggestions: Look for the local places for a good meal.
Fun Alternatives: Western Ribeye, American Legion Post on the north end of 41, Saratoga, and many of the local taverns have Italian or German meals!

Miscellaneous: There are some places in Terre Haute that are still cash-only, no credit-cards accepted. It's typically the really local places that serve great food... so if you plan to wander off the beaten path, make sure you have cash on hand.

jperry1000 Says: Inland Aquatics is a really cool fish hatchery, last I knew the world's largest indoor. The fish are beautiful and the emplyees will give you a tour for --low cost. Clabber Girl museum is neat, too. As of 2004 they added on quite a bit and have some old Hulman memorabilia...
DSwede Says: While it may not come high on the tourist lists, if you enjoy relaxed places and have an appreciation for (American) history, it is worth a stop. Just go to the Historic Registry office and get the listing of the local landmarks.Its old colonial style manors with their large...
