Terre Haute comes from the French phrase terre haute, which means “Highland.” It was likely named by French explorers in the early 18th century to describe the distinct location above the Wabash River. The recent community-wide initiative, 2013 Year of the River, provided arts, cultural, environmental and educational events focused on the river that gave Terre Haute its name. Through this initiative, Wabashiki was introduced. A 2,600 acre Fish and Wildlife Area along the Wabash River, Wabashiki offers patrons a location perfect for hunting, fishing, trapping, bird viewing and many other outdoor activities. The Wabash River is the reason settlements first occurred in this region, so it is important to enhance and protect this natural resource. The Wabash River is home to 150 species of fish, provides drinking water to 72 percent of Indiana counties and offers many outdoor recreation opportunities. Arts Initiated in 2003 through the efforts of dedicated volunteers from all areas of the community, Art Spaces is focused on uniting business and the arts to positively impact the economy of the area. It is the only not-for-profit organization in the Wabash Valley establishing a highly visible collection of site-specific outdoor sculpture. Be sure to check out Art Space’s outdoor sculptures located throughout the Wabash Valley, including A Chorus of Trumpets, Renewal, Max Ehrmann at the Crossroads, Emanating Connections and many more. Arts Illiana is a local, membership-based, non-profit organization that promotes, supports and enhances the arts and cultural activities of the Wabash Valley. Arts Illiana works closely with the Rivers and Roads Artisan Trail, Max Ehrmann Poetry Competition, Tablescapes and continues to be heavily involved in the 2013 Year of the River initiative.
