West Lafayette is home to Purdue University, one of the country’s leading engineering and agricultural schools, and the alma mater of Neil Armstrong and more than two dozen other astronauts, earning it the nickname Cradle of Astronauts. Amelia Earhart served on the faculty in the 1930s, and Purdue was the first university in the country to have its own airport. Across the Wabash River, Lafayette is home to Subaru of Indiana Automotive, the brand’s only manufacturing plant in the United States, along with Caterpillar and other manufacturers.
Purdue University Airport sits on the southwest edge of campus, making it one of the most convenient college airports in the country for private flights. Recruiters, researchers and corporate partners can fly in for meetings at Purdue’s research park and labs and leave the same day, while fans and families avoid the drive from Indianapolis or Chicago on game days. Visitors explore the campus, the historic Tippecanoe Battlefield and Prophetstown State Park, and the Feast of the Hunters’ Moon festival each fall.
