Local History

Local History

Our Local History and Genealogy collection in the Reference Department consists of both books and unique items such as letters, ledgers, and diaries that provide historical perspectives and information on Crawfordsville and Montgomery County. Because of the special nature of this collection, these materials do not circulate.

If you intend to conduct on-site research, see our instructions on how to plan a visit in order to make your visit more worthwhile.
