What a great little museum. Not only highlighting the history of Terre Haute, but the Hulman family and their legacy to Indiana. It is a free little museum and would be a great place to pop in and walk around after having gotten a cup of Rex coffee and a sandwich from the attached Clabber Girl Café, but a worthy drop in. Clabber Girl Baking products are from Terre Haute and this is kind of a cool little bit of trivia to the area. The museum highlights the time periods when it started, the Hulman family who started it and the how, what, whens, where’s and who’s of how it grew and how the Hulman family’s grew… into other entities like the Indy 500. A great little welcoming spot and after a detailed search, the only place I could find that sells a historic Terre Haute post card.

Interesting museum to wander through. The café offers sandwiches, soups and salads — and cookies! — which are quite lovely. The café seating area is large, and a cooking school is offered in the rear.

The Clabber Girl museum is wonderful! A living history of Terre Haute and their famous Clabber Girl baking powder and Rex Coffee, which you can buy to take home or to eat and drink right there in their bake shop! Take a walk through the carriages, a display of what it must have looked like and felt like when Clabber Girl first was invented. This includes the clothes, the newspaper articles, kitchen objects, including the actual containers, other artifacts! It’s clean and well-organized, and a beautiful testimony to the factory, which still exists, and still makes baking powder and coffee! After a walk-through the museum, be sure to check out their bake shop where they have wonderful buttery cookies and decent coffee or espresso(Not being from the midwest, I asked for extra shots).
