Ball State's Center for Historic Preservation has helped Wabash boost its appeal for heritage tourists by creating three walking tour brochures on local historic architecture.

The Dr. James Ford Historic Home is among the featured sites. Wabash Heritage Project partners include Holly Kendall of Wabash Marketplace Inc.; civic leader Richard E. Ford; center director James Glass; Catherine Compton of the Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana; and Ron Kirby of Wabash Marketplace Inc.
