Things to Do in Terre Haute, Indiana

For 15 years, Christopher Bolander built a career and life in San Francisco. The city’s culture, opportunities and energy kept him engaged, but the financial strain weighed heavily. “The average house price on my street, nothing fancy, was between $1.6 and $1.8 million,” he said. Even the most modest studio apartments demanded half a million dollars.

Learn how by relocating to Terre Haute through the MakeMyMove program, Christopher was able to become a first-time homeowner and how he's enjoying life as a Sycamore again here.

Terre Haute's Historic 12 Points District offers so many options for shopping local on Small Business Saturday! The District hosts shopping for vinyl records, vintage clothing, cheesecake, kombucha, spices and teas, and all kinds of local merchandise and art. When you shop in 12 Points, you are truly supporting local families.

During the warm months, 12 Points also hosts Indiana's FIRST Food Truck Court! I love this neighborhood in our community. It is bustling on the weekends and will be especially busy with locals and tourists on Small Business Saturday!
