Crawfordsville: The Athens of Indiana
Crawfordsville is the county seat of Montgomery County in west-central Indiana, about 45 miles west of Indianapolis. The city was platted in 1823 and has earned the nickname "Athens of Indiana" for its literary and educational heritage.
Wabash College, a private men's liberal arts college founded in 1832, is the city's most prominent institution. The college has produced Rhodes Scholars, business leaders, and the occasional governor. General Lew Wallace, who wrote "Ben-Hur" in 1880, lived in Crawfordsville, and his study is preserved as a museum and cultural center.
The city's population of approximately 16,000 has remained relatively stable. R.R. Donnelley operated a large printing plant in Crawfordsville for decades, and manufacturing, education, and healthcare through Franciscan Health Crawfordsville form the economic base. Sugar Creek runs through the area and is popular for canoeing.
The Lane Place museum, a Greek Revival house built in 1845 by Henry Lane, Indiana's Civil War-era governor, is maintained as a historic site. The Rotary Jail Museum, housed in a rare circular rotating jail built in 1882, is one of the most unusual museums in the state.
