| dc.description.abstract | Lawrence County, Indiana is probably best known for its limestone. Stone from its quarries has been used in such landmarks at the National Archives, the Empire State Building, the Pentagon, and the National Cathedral. But Lawrence County has another distinction as well. Lawrence County is the home county to more astronauts than any other county in the United States. Three men, Virgil “Gus” Grissom, Charlie Walker, and Kenneth Bowersox, hail from here. The two public libraries in the county, located in Bedford and Mitchell, have created some special collections dedicated to the space pioneers. | en |
