In the Vigo County Courthouse belfry hangs a 2-ton bell, a gift to Vigo County from a donor who played an important role in the Indiana Territory during and after the Revolutionary War. Vigo County was named in honor of this patriot in 1818. Colonel Francis Vigo traveled from Vincennes to Terre Haute and because of the royal welcome he received, he pledged $500 in his will to Vigo County for a courthouse bell. | Creator: Photographed by Suzy Quick | Source: Vigo County Historical MuseumDownload Original File
