Founded in 1825, Lafayette grew as a shipping center on the Wabash River, after William Henry Harrison's troops defeated the Shawnee Indians at Tippecanoe in 1811, opening the area to settlement. A scenic trail winds through the 90-acre Tippecanoe Battlefield. You'll also find relics and displays on the city's development at the Fowler House museum. Amusement park rides and a zoo are at Columbian Park. The Art Museum of Greater Lafayette offers a permanent collection of 19th- and 20th-century American and contemporary Latin American art.
You can also tour the campus of Purdue University, located across the Wabash in West Lafayette.
