Ohio Boulevard–Deming Park Historic District is a boulevard in Terre Haute, Vigo County, Indiana.
Designed by architect and city planner George E. Kessler, the boulevard is 1.5 miles (2.4 km) long. At its start at the intersection with 19th Street is an entrance including a stone structure on either side of the road. There the road is 106 feet (32 m) wide, expanding to 190 feet (58 m) wide at 20th street to accommodate an 80-foot-wide (24 m) median.
The median is maintained by the city of Terre Haute as city park land. In the teardrop-shaped green space formed as the boulevard branches and widens between 19th and 20th streets is a fountain, restored in 2002. This small area was dedicated as Remembrance Plaza on September 11, 2002, in honor of those who lost their lives in the September 11 attacks one year prior.
The boulevard was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989 for its significance in architecture, landscaping and the history of the region.
