TERRE HAUTE — Terre Haute Landmarks, Inc. will host Hautean Hideway – a Terre Haute Speakeasy — from 5 to 7 p.m. on Oct. 3 at the Indiana Theatre, 683 Ohio St. Enjoy the music of the roaring ’20s provided by the Crossroads Brass, have a sloe gin fizz from the cash bar and enjoy the nibbles from Saratoga Restaurant and Sycamore Farms and just socialize with someone new.
Come in dressed as if you were a moll or gangster (minus the weapons please!) Tickets are $20 per person and will be available at the door.
Proceeds will benefit a Terre Haute Landmarks, Inc. project.
At 7:30 enjoy a free showing of Public Enemies, Johnny Depp as Dillinger and Christian Slater as FBI agent Melvin Purvis. Experience a movie about a notorious gang that had numerous connections to Terre Haute and Indiana in a historic landmark theatre, built during the same era.
The movie is based on the book: “Public Enemies: America ’s Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933-34” by Bryan Burrough. An examination of the stories of John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson, Pretty Boy Floyd, the Barker-Karpis Gang, Machine Gun Kelly, and Bonnie and Clyde as a single narrative history of the FBI’s “War on Crime” from 1933 to 1936, the book is about the bureaucratic evolution of the FBI from a bungling group of amateurs to a professional crime-fighting organization and his central aim is to reclaim the history for the individual agents involved.
Bryan Burrough will be at ISU at 7 p.m. Oct. 5 in Tilson Auditorium as part of the ISU Speaker Series. His presentation is free and open to the public.
Terre Haute Landmarks is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of our community’s historic landmarks. While not all buildings can be saved, if our community is to prosper it must have a strong sense of pride in its history.
Historic buildings and sites are one source of community pride that both longtime residents and newcomers will recognize.
It helps people with questions about the benefits of historic preservation, and take an active role in recognizing and preserving Terre Haute’s historic buildings and believes that through education, the community can learn that historic places offer great potential and are an asset that will make our community grow.
