Welcome!

Welcome to the Cole Porter Inn!  Cole Porter was born in and spent the first fourteen years of his life in this home at 17-19 South Huntington Street, Peru, Indiana. In that short time, Cole wrote several of his early songs (including The Bob-O-Link Waltz) in this home... his beginning as an unparalleled composer and lyricist!

In 2004, the home was purchased by Ole Olsen Memorial Theatre, Inc. and over the next four years, restored it to it's 1891 condition! The Cole Porter Inn currently features a gift shop and reception area, Kate's Parlor, and three elegant suites... The Cole Porter Suite, The Anything Goes Suite, and The Night & Day Suite.
