Transportation
There is a crew/courtesy car here listed on the FBO website. You can also arrange rentals for ground transport through Hoosier Aviation. Vehicle parking is free.
Taxi services E2 Taxi and Terre Haute Cab Service, as well as Uber, are all available. Honestly, I would choose Uber after reading online reviews for both taxi services. There are both good and bad reviews, but it seems like a crapshoot.

- Candles Holocaust Museum & Education Center – Founded by survivor Eva Kor, it shares powerful lessons on forgiveness and resilience. If you can’t visit, at least watch the video on their website.
- Veterans Memorial Museum of Terre Haute – The museum is not large, but it’s well thought out with nice displays and wonderful old photos. The Memorial honors local veterans from WWI to the present. Admission is free, and the door is open on Saturdays.

The city is also filled with parks for everything from frisbee golf to nationally recognized (Griffin Bike Park) mountain bike trails. The Wabash Riverfront and Wabashiki Wetlands are nature at its finest.
And, there’s always golf. The Hulman Links golf course is an 18-hole course.
