If you like museums, you can visit the nine museums in the area including the nationally recognized Sheldon Swope Art Museum, new Vigo County Historical Museum or the Terre Haute Children’s Museum (hey, science is for kids of ALL ages!). And don’t forget the comedians and live music at our local pubs and restaurants.

OUTDOORS The Terre Haute Parks Department has over 1,000 acres of dedicated land which include parks and golf courses. The Wabashiki Fish and Wildlife Area, just a few miles from SMWC campus, offers a seven-mile trail around a wetlands preserve. The Mill, and outdoor concert venue, is located on the east side of Terre Haute, just across the river and has many well-known performers throughout the year.

EVENTS Community events, many in downtown Terre Haute, draw thousands of fans. The Miracle on 7th Street Christmas event is highlighted by an SMWC sponsored Christmas parade that offers attendees the opportunity to experience the Christmas spirit with the lights of the night! From air shows to river front festivals, there are many more live events to explore.
