    Debs was an incredible man. I live in the town where he lived, Terre Haute, Indiana. There’s not a lot of reasons to stop here if driving across the country on I-70, but if you do stop, I highly recommend visiting his former home next to the Indiana State University campus, which is now a museum dedicated to Debs. There’s a lot to learn about and it’s also a beautiful house with some gorgeous furniture.

    Check out this table. I love it so much. Someone made this by hand.

    Anyway, here’s the museum info: https://debsfoundation.org/index.php/landing/visit-the-museum/

    Edit: My dad bought a replica of this campaign button when he visited, which he dearly loved. I must have it around somewhere now that he’s gone.
