TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) - If you went to Terre Haute's downtown Saturday, you probably noticed long lines of folks streaming into the brand new Terre Haute Children's Museum.
In fact, an estimated 4,000 people came to the museum Saturday alone.
All that traffic was good news for surrounding businesses as well.
Boo Lloyd, the owner of the Corner Grind which is also on Wabash said she's gotten more business this weekend than she did during Blues Fest, normally her busiest weekend.
She's excited for what the museum could mean for all businesses downtown.
