I just purchased a horseradish crown to plant. I'm curious if anyone here has any tips or suggestions on planting and growing horseradish?

Give it a spot with well-drained soil and it will flourish.  I have some growing in sun and some in partial shade.  I like to take root cuttings when I can to increase my plants but I find that even when I think I've removed the entire plant from an area that it regrows from root fragments left in the soil.  As a matter of fact there's a clump still growing on my great-grandparent's farm that my grandma said had been there as long as she could remember.  She'd have been 98 this year.

Plant it far, far away from your regular garden growing areas. Once established, it is essentially impossible to eradicate. And it spreads!
