Once upon a time I thought I would stay here a year....thatâs turned into decadesâfor all kinds of reasons. A little city with a national reputation collegeâWabash Collegeâ is the most amazing asset to a community where you donât deal with traffic congestion nor long distances to any resource (medical, governmental, shopping, places of worship) this west-central Indiana âneighborhoodâ has. In addition, we have access to two world-beating state parks with all kinds of excellent trails and rare geological features less than an hour away. Our schools and teachers have won awardsâincluding state and national onesâ of all kinds. IIâll stop. Give Crawfordsville a look and youâll be delightfully surprised. We have room for gardens and lots of encouragement to go green. We have four distinct seasons. Why not make Crawfordsville home?
