This self-guided historic walking tour would not be possible without help from many individuals, businesses and organizations. Thanks to Karen Long and Susan Mardis who developed the idea and pursued a grant from the Wabash Valley Community Foundation with assistance from RJL Solutions.

The project received support from the Collett Park Neighborhood Association and the 12 Points Revitalization Initiative board and friends. Research assistance from the Vigo County History Center and Suzy Dunning and the Vigo County Public Library is greatly appreciated. Large Ink, Tabco, Big Picture, Mic Orman, Penny Gardner, Terre Haute Board of Public Works, Terre Haute Parks Department all deserve a huge thank you.
