Located in the heart of the Wabash Valley just east of the Illinois border, Terre Haute is a friendly community that sits high above the Wabash River. The city is situated 75 miles west of Indianapolis. Terre Haute once considered the “Crossroads of America” for its location along the National Railroad and north-south Dixie Bee Line. Today, approximately two-thirds of the United States population lives within a five-mile radius of Terre Haute.
