Take a journey through Crawfordsville’s Black history with the Soul Stroll, a self-guided walking/driving tour featuring 18 historic sites and the stories of the people who shaped our community.

In 2025, students from the Malcolm X Institute of Black Studies at Wabash College helped bring these stories to life by writing and recording the audio narratives for each stop.

Listen to the stories and experience the Soul Stroll for yourself:

This Memorial Day, we remember the 3rd Battalion of the 139th Field Artillery.

The 139th was first deployed during the Spanish-American War in 1898 attached to the 4th Indiana Infantry. In World War I, the battalion was sent to France, but never entered combat. Returning from the war, the unit was demobilized in 1919 and reinstated as a member of the Indiana National Guard’s 38th Infantry Division in 1922. The 139th served in multiple wars including World War II. Its final deployment was to Iraq in 2009.

This flag represents the courage and sacrifice the soldiers of the 139th Field Artillery Battalion exhibited. It was restored by Deantha “Dede” Wright-Thornburg. She found the flag on an old piece of paneling in the National Guard Armory in Crawfordsville and restored it.

This flag was originally from the Darlington Armory when Service Battery C was formed there in 1947.
