After I read that Senator Bernie Sanders received the 60th Eugene V. Debs Award in October 2025, I…read moredecided to visit the historic home of this Socialist leader in Terre Haute, Indiana, Debs' hometown. I'm glad I did, because not only is it a beautiful house, but it is also a landmark of American civil rights history. Debs became famous in America after his involvement in the 1894 Pullman Strike, because he was the President of the American Railway Union at the time. After his release from prison in 1895 he changed his party affiliation from Democrat to the Socialist Party of America and became its five-time candidate for President. In his last campaign in 1920 Debs ran while being imprisoned in the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary. His campaign pins read "For President: Convict No. 9653" and you can buy replicas of this pin at the gift shop. The library is a prominent room on the main floor. Through reading, campaigning and giving speeches, Eugene Debs became the prominent labor leader and civil rights activist of the country. Inspired by the ideals of social justice, Debs became an advocate, not only for the rights of workers, but also for women and African Americans as well. Since the year 1900, the Socialist Party became a strong supporter of women's rights. It came to the attention of the major parties how much vigor and excitement women were adding to the Debs' presidential campaigns. Throughout his life Debs always spoke and acted in support of bringing full equality into the lives of women. He was for women's right to vote and equal pay in the workplace. The voting right for women in 1920 was partly credited to Debs and the Socialist Party. Debs also supported the African Americans' struggle for equality. He believed that civil rights for Blacks were critical to the realization of true democracy in America. This position put him at odds with other white Socialists, but it won the admiration of African American civil rights advocates. Today when the visitors arrive at Debs' home, they often wonder how a Socialist could afford such a nice and big house. But Debs built his home from his own salary he received as a union leader, and the railway laborers appreciated him so much that they offered their time and help to build him a proper home. Compared to the American upper-class homes, the Debs house certainly is not extravagant. It emphasizes his conviction that every workman should make enough money that he can build a proper home for his family. The top floor of the house has wall murals presenting Debs' life and career. They were made by John Laska (1918-2009), professor of art at Indiana State University. Guided tours are available at the house, but since it has so much history in it, reserve at least an hour for your visit.

I dropped off some photos of my Grandmother and Great Aunt for a future exhibit of entertainers and famous people from Terre Haute. The museum is currently closed as they are preparing to move to a larger space in downtown Terre Haute. However, we were able to take a tour of the museum and we thoroughly enjoyed seeing all of the items that have not yet been packed up for the move. A couple highlights for me were artifacts and a lovely painting of Gerstmeyer Tech High School, a Terre Haute school which is no longer in existence. My parents met at Gerstmeyer in 1943 as high school students, so that was special for me to see. I also really LOVED seeing the one and only Stiffy Green, legendary bulldog who used to reside in his master's mausoleum in Highland Park Cemetery. The museum staff who we met, Susan and Tanis, were both wonderful and enthusiastic about the museum and Vigo County. I am looking forward to them moving to their new space (which will also be ADA compliant, the current lovely old mansion is not). This is a must visit if you are passing through "The Crossroads of America" .
