Hangman Crossing is an unincorporated community in Jackson Township, Jackson County, Indiana, United States.
Etymology of town name
The name originated in 1868, as six members of the Reno Gang were lynched by a vigilante mob numbering over 100, known as the Scarlet Mask Society or the Jackson County Vigilance Committee. The lynchings occurred on July 20 and 24, 1868.[3]
A portion of the locale is now a small development of newer homes named "The Crossing", just west of Seymour on U.S. Route 50.
