About the Hulman/Clabber Girl Museum

In 2002 we opened a museum celebrating the history of one of the oldest companies in America. Clabber Girl Baking Powder grew out of the manufacturing business of Hulman & Co., a wholesaler of general merchandise and grocery products. Founded in 1849, the company was an important player in both the regional and national economies.

The museum is located at 9th and Wabash Avenue in Terre Haute, Indiana. The building that currently houses the museum and general offices was constructed in 1892. Photographs along the pillars of our "Hall of Memories" show the different faces that shaped our company history. Many examples of the products and brands once produced or sold by the company are also on display. Some of the more popular brand names Hulman & Company manufactured were the Farmers Pride, Dauntless and Crystal brands. The general merchandise and grocery wholesale business closed in 1995, but the company continues to manufacture products for the food industry.

Another important part of the Hulman family of businesses is the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Corp., purchased by Tony Hulman Jr. at the end of WWII. At the museum visitors will see an actual Indy racecar on display as well as other memorabilia from the famed Speedway and the Greatest Spectacle in Racing.

Let us welcome you in traditional Hulman style, and while your here, make sure you visit Antonia's Country Store or have breakfast or lunch in The Clabber Girl Bake Shop as you relax by the fireplace and drink Rex Coffee, an 1879 Hulman blend, brought to you as part of our renewed interest in the Hulman Heritage.
