Several interesting things (I went to Automotive School in Vincennes in 1978 and 79)and I am from Northern Ind. on the lake shore.
How about a LOOP of the incredible Hoosier State?
From The Angola area, to Auburn (car museums)
Then down Highway 69 to Ft. Wayne (The highest point on the Wabash Erie Canal) grain and manufacturing route to the east.
South just inside the city take US-24 to the south west It is called Hoosier Heartland Highway. (scenic it is) (sharp right turn at Huntington)
Logansport Is the terminus of the Wabash Erie canal where it connects to the navigable Wabash river. The Cass County Historical Society Museums
discuss transportation and settlement of the area.
South of Logansport, the South West direction changes to Highway 25 (still Hoosier heartland Highway)
Battleground is the sight of the Battle of Tippecanoe. A very historic loss for Native Americans. The battle was between American forces led by
Governor William Henry Harrison of the Indiana Territory and Indian forces associated with Shawnee leader Tecumseh. (there is a famous name!)
Stay on 25, (the pain getting through or around Lafayette needs some focus)
Highway 25 to Waynetown, then West on 136 to the intersection of US 41. south to Terre Haute. (Many interesting old sites from coal mining, to
manufacturing)
South on US-150 toward Vincennes. Mirom Institute is on the banks of the Wabash (west CR 300s) It is located on a bluff and allows a powerful view
into Illinois, miles.
Vincennes- A French settled town with history including the birth place of Red Skelton, The Abraham Lincoln site, George rogers Clark Memorial, and
the quaintness of the street layout along the river. VU is the oldest higher education institution west of the Allegheny mountains. The institution
was founded in 1801 as Jefferson Academy and incorporated as Vincennes University on November 29, 1806. Founded by William Henry Harrison, VU is one
of only two U.S. colleges founded by a President of the United States.
41 south gets you to Evansville. It is about as far south as you can get unless you want to take roads out to the confluence of the wabash and Ohio
rivers (Old Dam 49 road)
From the target of your trip, I will let others put you in a path back home. I would do the French Lick thing and go back on the east side of
Indianapolis. Much to see. I had fun doing this by the way, thanks. Jim
