About New Richmond

New Richmond is a quiet rural community of around 300 people tucked into the farmland of Montgomery County. It offers a relaxed, small-town pace while keeping you within easy reach of larger hubs, sitting about 15 minutes northwest of Crawfordsville and less than half an hour southwest of Lafayette. Local kids attend the North Montgomery school district, and residents enjoy wide-open country living with convenient access to regional shopping, dining, and jobs.

New Richmond, Indiana sign

If the downtown looks familiar, you might recognize it from the silver screen. In 1985, Hollywood transformed New Richmond into the fictional town of Hickory for the classic basketball movie *Hoosiers*, a piece of Indiana history the community still celebrates today. It remains a friendly, slow-paced spot where open skies, quiet streets, and familiar neighbors make for a welcoming place to settle down.
