Have you tried our image database recently? If not, you may be surprised at what you find. Our image collection contains photos and postcards (in .jpg format) as well as historical books and other non-photo items (in .pdf format). Want to see Harry S Truman on the back of his special train the day he went through Crawfordsville in 1948? Are you curious to see what Washington Street looked like in the 19th century when horses were the most common means of transportation? Want to read the 1935 commencement program for Wingate High School? How about looking at a photo of the Carnegie Library soon after its completion in 1902 (now the Carnegie Museum of Montgomery County)? This -- and much more -- is available by searching the database at history.cdpl.lib.in.us/imagedb.html
Just for fun: Look at the group image shown here. Can you pick out the person who later was a Wabash graduate and two-time mayor of Crawfordsville?
