Hoosiers the movie

We have 3 banners used in the movie Hoosier.

Yes! Actual movie props!




Here's the plan

1. Come see the banners.

2. Check out the movie from the Crawfordsville District Public Library.

3. Watch for the banners as you enjoy the movie.

4. When you see them jump up and down yelling, "I've seen them!"

Larry Bird's Shoes

Yep, we've got them!

The Madness Began

The very first basketball game played in Indiana was played in the
Crawfordsville YMCA

in 'March' of 1894.
It has been 'Madness' since.

The work in progress seen here is a permanent mural based on architectural details from throughout Montgomery County. Each individual image begins as a photograph that is cropped, simplified, and recolored. The images are then arranged to create a large abstract composition.
The concept for this project grew from my own experiences walking and driving around Crawfordsville and other communities in the county. I think that architecture is a living record of history available to all who pass by. My hope is that this work would encourage viewers to appreciate the historical treasures that our area has to offer and to help preserve them for future generations.
