Stiffy Green the Bulldog
Vigo County Museum
1411 South 6th Street
Terre Haute, IN 47802-1114(812) 235-9717 www.indstate.edu/community/vchs/ Oh, the story of Stiffy Green is way too long and far too complicated to repeat here. I'll give you two links in a moment where you can read two accounts of the tale. The bottom line is this: A concrete or stuffed dog with green glowing eyes sits in a museum replica of a Terre Haute mausoleum. (I'm not making thus up!) Apparently, when he was located in a real mausoleum, visiting Stiffy was a dating ritual for teens growing up in Terre Haute.
