Calling all Boilermaker superfans! We have a collection of 87 Purdue football posters available for sale. (Disclaimer: These are not antiques, and they did not come with The Fowler House.) We had these in our previous home. We simply do not have anywhere to put them, now that we moved into The Fowler House. If you are interested, please send Mark Daniel Ward an email at [email protected] and let us know what you are willing to pay for these. We bought all of these from Asgard Press over a period of a decade.

Tye Freeman thank you for sharing the beautiful pictures that you took today!

Several families have called and asked about Mother's Day meals, but our restaurant is not open. We are sorry! Somehow The Fowler House has been mentioned on the radio this spring as a Mother's Day destination, but that information is unfortunately out of date. We are still open for events, e.g., weddings, bridal showers, baby showers, catered meals, etc.! Please feel welcome to call 765-400-2002 if you want to schedule an event. Anytime! Best wishes to all mothers on Mother's Day!

We have two exterior doors (very thick, solid doors!) available at The Fowler House from before the 1852 Foundation's renovation. They would be perfect for anybody building a barn or garage. They are sitting on 10th Street behind The Fowler House if you want to see them. They are free for the taking!

Perhaps Prom season at Fowler House Mansion is finished for the spring? (Not sure!) It will feel lonely this weekend, without having hundreds of families taking pictures onsite! LOL! It has been a lot of fun to meet all of these families during the last 3 weekends of Prom season!
