Crawfordsville

City in west-central Indiana, USA, on Sugar Creek, 69 km/43 mi northwest of Indianapolis; seat of Montgomery County; population (2000) 15,200. Crawfordsville is the trading and processing centre of a livestock, dairying, and grain producing region. There is also some industry, including printing, bookbinding, and the manufacture of plastics, steel, foundry equipment, and nails and wire.

The presence of Wabash College (1832) made Crawfordsville a 19th-century cultural centre; the college remains important in the city's life. The Ben Hur Museum/General Lew Wallace Study (1896) commemorates the writer and Civil War general, a native of Brookville, who lived here 1853-1905.
