The newspaper known originally as The Crawford Independent and now known as The Crawford County Independent & Kickapoo Scout has printed 6,235 editions — instead of the calculated 6,240 — during its 120-year history, the newspaper reported on May 22, 2025.
The article also listed the awards the newspaper has received over most of those 120 years.
The newspaper scheduled a 120-year party at its Gays Mills Mercantile Center office from 2-6 p.m. on Friday, May 23, featuring food, contests, prizes and — most importantly — reduced subscription prices.
Staffers were available along with columnists, former staffers and “many more interesting individuals,” according to the article.
