Welcome to Lafayette.

Lafayette is ranked in the top ten of Forbes’ Best Small Places for Business And Careers. And for good reason.

Lafayette’s rich cultural history is on display in the city’s historic structures and museums. On the banks of the Wabash River, our thriving city is home to numerous professional offices, shops, parks, restaurants, a seasonal farmer’s market, and great annual festivals. Stuart & Branigin’s offices are located in the Lafayette Life Building in the heart of downtown Lafayette, adjacent to the state and federal courthouses. Close by in West Lafayette is Purdue University, one of the nation’s top universities.

But just minutes away from the hustle is a world of small farms, forests and the unspoiled natural beauty of Indiana.

Further afield, Indianapolis is an hour away, and Chicago just less than two.

The urban/rural balance in Lafayette is alive and well. While those of us who live here have come from all walks of life, we share a deep affection for our community. And we invest time and resources into making it an ever better place to live and work.
