Day 5
Crawfordsville to Lafayette – 41.1 miles
Mostly Sunny with a High of 83°
Crawfordsville: The journey follows Sugar Creek through Montgomery County. The day includes beautiful views of running water, War of 1812 and Revolutionary War gravesite visits, and much natural beauty as we approach our lunch destination west of Crawfordsville. Pilgrims will later travel through “Hickory” where the opening scene of the movie Hoosiers was filmed. Pilgrims celebrate mass at Pioneer Chapel at Wabash College and enjoy dinner on the campus.
