Ellsworth-Romig Neighborhood

CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE ELLSWORTH-ROMIG WEBCAST
Located just south of the downtown core is the Ellsworth Neighborhood. The neighborhood was named after Henry L. Ellsworth, the first Commissioner of the U.S. Patent Office, and founder of the United States Department of Agriculture. Mr. Ellsworth also owned a great deal of land in Tippecanoe and surrounding counties and was very influential in the settling of this area. The district was placed on the National Register in 1986 and is comprised of the area from Fifth Street, to the old railroad corridor, Ninth and South Streets. Residences and commercial buildings date primarily from the 1850s to the 1920s.

Neighborhood attractions include the Red Crown Mini-Museum, the Tippecanoe County Public Library and the headquarters of the John Phillips Sousa Foundation.
