You COULD fly in, but it'd be expensive. I think Northwest Metrolink is the only commercial line that flies into Purdue Airport. More than likely you'd fly into either Chicago or Indianapolis and drive. But you could also take Amtrak from either of those cities too. Greyhound has a stop as well.
Car and bus... and taxi too. That's it. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

CityBus is the main mode of transport around Purdue, seeing that they have a lot of Campus Loop services (Gold, Silver, Bronze, Ross Ade, South Campus) and a couple of others that run through campus (Tower Acres, Tippecanoe Mall, Salisbury, Purdue West/Klondike, Market Square, Wabash Trolley). If you really wanna get anywhere on time, either wait for the bus at least three hours early or get your own car.
Seriously.
The Salisbury bus is the bus that most students take to get to Walmart on Northwestern Avenue...and it only comes every two hours. So if you miss one, it's two hours to the next one. See what I mean? It helps to have the schedule for every bus that goes a certain somewhere, but they're not always on time. Leave a Comment

You want to do a little shopping? You'll find bead work, silver, historic clothing, canes, perfumes and a variety of furs and leather goods. It's a day in the sun enjoying the grande gathering that once occurred each year on this shore. While the warm sunny autumn days are the best, you'll feel as if there is a shroud of fog off the river. From out of this shroud will come the sounds and sights of a nation that William Henry Harrison and Tecumseh once knew.

The earliest european incursions into the area were by the French. They used the Wabash River as a roadway to and from the Ohio River and the settlements just north of the junction of the Ohio & Mississippi Rivers. The French arrived were here from before 1717 when the Blockhouse was built. The fort grew as a point of contact between the French traders and the Wea tribe of the Miami Indians. The French government ceded the area to the British as a result of the French and Indian War in 1760. It was a French community in British North America until 1790 and the end of the American Revolution. Because the local tribes had supported the Englisha nd were seen as a threat, the new American Gov't sent troops here to punish the tribes. The fort, towns and fields were burned during this time.
