Check out this vintage postcard that captures Riverside Park in Terre Haute during the early 1900s. Owned by Charles Deming and Frank Clark, this west bank landmark sat right near the river bridge. The park was designed to cater directly to the diverse crowd utilizing the Wabash River, offering a first class cafe, a bar, and a lunch stand that was always open to accommodate the unpredictable hours of river life and work.

From the twin viewing towers on the pavilion to the benches waiting on the floating boat dock, it was a destination for both hard working river men and local residents looking for recreation. A beautiful glimpse into Terre Haute's vibrant river history!

We are proud to share this look back at the dedication of the Charlie William's Overlook at Dewey Point. Since opening this spring, this new space has stood as a beautiful reminder of what can be accomplished through regional cooperation and a shared vision for our riverfront. While Riverscape is proud to have partnered in its creation, this overlook belongs to our entire community and is a gift for everyone to enjoy.

Charlie Williams’ passion for the Wabash River will forever be a part of this landscape. This space serves as a lasting tribute to his memory and to a space he loved so dearly. We extend our sincere gratitude to the many local entities, community leaders, and dedicated supporters who contributed the time, funding, and expertise necessary to make this project a reality. We also offer a special thank you to the Williams family for allowing us to honor Charlie in this meaningful way.

Please take a moment to watch the highlight video from the dedication ceremony and donors reception below. The next time you visit Dewey Point, we invite you to take a seat at the overlook, enjoy the view, and celebrate the community spirit that built it.
