Don't know who Cole Porter is??never fear, the Miami Museum is a short walk and $3 suggested donation away and they can school u on all things Cole. Our suite was roomy and quiet and filled with antiques & memorabilia. And all the comforts of home--air, kitchenette w microwave & fridge, and a smart TV with Amazon Prime. I recommend Just a short walk to Aroma--try the Lavender Lattee(Oye) ! And the adjacent bakery! Gabriel's has amazing breakfast and Dillinger's was good for dinner. Very responsive folks running it clued us into how to get in the suite. We'll be back !

We spent two nights at the Cole Porter Inn as a little getaway for antiquing and relaxation. We…read morestayed in the Cole Porter Suite, and it was beautiful! Very spacious with lovely furniture and decor. It's probably the antique-est of the three suites in the house. The Cole Porter Suite has a living room, a little kitchenette, a queen bed in the main area, a second bedroom with a double bed, a bathroom, and a sunroom (I've included pictures). The only thing that was a pinch awkward was the hand shower in the bathtub (and no shower curtain). Some antique charm that was definitely a new experience for us, but we figured it out! We were able to contact the proprietor as soon as we arrived, and he instructed us how to get to our room. We could come and go as we pleased. The only down side was feeling a little distant from him should we need things like extra towels, but he was very nice, and I'm sure he would have come running if we'd had a need. No breakfast is included with your stay at the inn, but the kitchenette has a sink, microwave, coffee maker, and coffee, or Peru has a few local breakfast places that will fit the bill (we liked Aroma downtown for coffee and donuts, or go down U.S. 31 about 15 minutes to Dutch Cafe for a hearty breakfast). The inn was also an easy walk to a few local restaurants for dinner, of which I recommend Club 14 and Voodoo Public House. The neighborhood is filled with historic homes of all shapes and sizes, so even just a walk (or drive!) drive around the neighborhoods in that vicinity was great entertainment. We didn't use the TV while we were there, so I guess my only other complaint would be the Wi-Fi. It's free, which is great, but we barely had a signal, so the router must be pretty far from our upstairs room. So if you need to get work done or have amazing internet access, you won't really get it here (at least not upstairs). But if you want a beautiful place to relax and a home base to check out what Northern Indiana has to offer, this is a great one!

It's the home of the Lafayette Symphony Orchestra - yes, Lafayette does indeed have a symphony orchestra. Lately they have been booking more musical acts. We went to see some tribute bands here and had a great time. They have also been booking some mid-level acts, including a couple of well-known Christian artists. The venue has a lot of that old vaudeville charm. The original architectural details have been preserved. There is a lobby where alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are served, and you can hang until the show starts. The ushers are all volunteers, believe it or not, and they are super friendly and helpful. The only thing I can think of to criticize is the loudness of the bands we saw. A bit loud for the room, we thought. But we still had a blast!

The Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts was founded in 1956 by Major Herbert Petrie, his wife, and…read moretheir friends John and Kitty Butterfield. It was originally known as Wagon Wheel Playhouse. Fun fact: Major Petrie played trumpet in the Army band under the direction of John Philip Sousa. The original theatre started as a simple tent with a gravel floor, canvas chairs, and two old chicken coops that served as the scene shop and dressing rooms. In the early 60s, a simple structure was actually built. In 1970, Major Petrie retired and sold the playhouse to a group of Warsaw businessmen. In 1984, a new group bought it and in 1995 Bruce Shaffner became sole owner. In 2010, there was a corporate reorganization and it became a non-profit organization known as Wagon Wheel Theatre, Inc. The Wagon Wheel has a circular stage with 360-degree seating. Seating goes 10 rows high - so it's a fairly immersive experience. Free and general parking is located behind the theatre. Accessible parking is located in the parking lot next to Center Street and along the side of the theater facing the Wyndham. Accessibility options do exist here. I wouldn't call them perfect, though there's been an obvious effort. There's one accessible stall in both men's and women's restrooms. Accessible seating is limited to Section 1, Row G (this doesn't thrill me) - companion seating is also available. Accessible tickets are sold only through the box-office or by calling. Usher service begins an hour before the show - there's a preference here to remove unneeded walkers, wheelchairs, and larger mobility devices not needed during the performance (ushers will assist - again, not thrilled about this as one never knows when a device may be needed and getting it back can be disruptive). The AWS Foundation has supported Wagon Wheel in acquiring sensory bags and other items for those with light, hearing, and other sensory sensitivities. SuperEar Listening devices are available for those with hearing issues. This is free of charge. Service animals are welcome, though they must be in a clearly marked vest. In addition to regular shows, Wagon Wheel offers a variety of programs in support of its mission. They exist for all age groups. They are quite active in the community. Shows here are entertaining, the acoustics are strong, and staff/volunteers are nearly always friendly. Shows include live theater, symphony, concerts, and other types of shows. This is a Northeast Indiana gem. While there are some modest accessibility concerns I have, there's a strong effort to be inclusive and the theatre is absolutely a beloved gem for this community. The recent holiday show was spirited and impressive. Despite my concerns about seating, I will admit my seats were fine and the show was awesome.

Local Wabash entrepreneur, Mark Honeywell founded the Honeywell Foundation. The Honeywell Arts and…read moreEntertainment Center was built in 1952 funded largely by the Foundation. Expansion of the facility was completed in the 1990's. The art deco facade of the building is packed with character. I loved the architecture. A sculpture with a quiet fountain stands outside the entrance. The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Inside the entrance are paintings and memorabilia honoring the Honeywell family. The building houses a theater, a classic 1950's gymnasium, meeting rooms and even a restaurant. Art is displayed on the walls. The facility offers performances, movies and other cultural events throughout the year. Tours of the facility are available. Parking lots surround the facility. This is a fabulous facility for the small town of Wabash.

The seating and aisles aren't cramped.The parking and access in and out is very easy. Plenty of places set up to get snacks and drinks. Very,very reasonably priced. You can get a beer for $6.

Plenty of friendly staff on hand that will gladly help find your seat or address any other issue you may have. I was more than impressed about the whole experience. Looking forward to attending another event there soon!

You will also find an art gallery, gift shop and another setting we did not see. The center is on the former site of Lanier School and the old library.

Elkhart, Indiana's Lerner Theatre is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2024. The theatre was…read moreopened by Harry E. Lerner on November 27th, 1924 and originally had 2,000 seats with vaudeville, big band, and theatrical revues dominating the schedule. As movies came into reality, the Lerner also hosted them. The Lerner has changed ownership several times throughout the years and actually went vacant in 1987 when then owner William Miller passed away. Eventually, the city of Elkhart bought it in an effort to ensure its preservation. A non-profit negotiated to actually run the theatre as a performing arts center and initial renovations began to include interior painting on the main floor, restoration of the Grand Lounge, ADA compliant restrooms, new carpeting, new seats and lighting. It became apparent, however, that the beloved Lerner needed much more if it was to become the downtown Elkhart landmark everyone wanted it to be. Over the next several years, studies took place and plans were developed. In 2008, the city committed $18 million to a complete renovation that was completed in 2011. The Lerner today is a magnificent theatre. The Lerner hosts everything from local groups to national acts like Rodney Carrington, Brad Williams, and a host of musicians and comics. In terms of accessibility, the Lerner Theatre has wheelchair accessible seating available for patrons and companions within regular theatre seats in multiple sections on the Main Floor of the theatre. We have additional options for seating in Main, Left and Right, Row AA, that would not be limited by the dimensions of the patron's mobility device. These seats are available for purchase, or upon request, from the box-office (in-person or by phone). As is often true of historic theatres, there is no wheelchair accessible seating in the balcony section. Restrooms are available and do meet ADA guidelines. The Lerner also offers a variety of assistive hearing devices. While generally animals are not allowed, exceptions include guide, sign or signal dogs to aide those with disabilities. The Lerner does offer concessions and you can take them into the theatre, however, they do ask that you open any items prior to entering the theatre. As the Lerner is downtown in Elkhart, there are dining options available and it's very possible to enjoy a night in downtown Elkhart. Fun fact: The Lerner has a 1924 Kimball pipe organ that is one of only three Kimball pipe organs currently installed in its original location. It was restored in 2011. Free parking is available adjacent to The Lerner in the Civic Plaza Public Parking area and Marion Street Parking Garage. Tours are available - reservations are required and tours are $10.
