A Historical Adventure in Crawford and Wabash College

Welcome back and welcome to Indiana! Thanks for joining us, as we explore the area for a couple of weeks. We are a husband-and-wife team that travels the country in our Keystone Cougar 2100 RKS, and we love to explore new places. This blog highlights the Crawford, Indiana area and we were introduced to a native noisy creature.

As we were traveling along our way to Crawford, we found the Nestle Bunny at the Nestle Plant.

We found our way to Crawford KOA for two nights. We did learn about a new creature called a Cicada.

These little creatures make sooooo much noise. Oh my goodness!

Lane Place

While we were in town, we visited Lane Place in Crawford, Indiana. The beautiful house belongs to the Montgomery County Historical Society. The house started with a 3 room cabin in 1830 and in 1845 the front part of the house was built in 1845 when Henry Smith and Joanna Elston Lane were married. The house went through many renovations over the years

The reconstructed Speed Cabin is also on the Lane grounds.

The house next door is being renovated by the local chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution.

Wabash College

While driving around this beautiful town, we stumbled upon another college.

This college was founded in 1832 and is a private men’s college. The campus is 65 beautifully wooded acres.

This is the local courthouse.
