"Hometown with Tom Roznowski" is conceived as a walking tour
through Terre Haute, Indiana in the summer of 1926. Terre Haute was known
during this time as "The Crossroads Of America". The city embodied many of
the characteristics we now associate with the classic American hometown:
front porch conversations, Labor Day parades, fireflies in a jar, and
corner groceries. Terre Haute in 1926 also contained a private orphanage,
a county poor farm, and segregated drinking fountains. Somewhere amidst
all of this, you'll find a story about life in America.
