Corydon

The wooded, karst terrain around Corydon is underlain by limestone and marked by rolling ground and sinkholes, which have shaped both settlement patterns and the local economy. Big Indian Creek runs through the area, while the Ohio River forms the southern edge of Harrison County. Corydon was Indiana’s first state capital from 1816 to 1825, and the 1816 Old Capitol building remains central to the Corydon Capitol State Historic Site. The town is also associated with the Battle of Corydon, fought in 1863 during Confederate General John Hunt Morgan’s raid into Indiana. Its courthouse square, historic sites and Cave Country setting give this county seat a distinct southern Indiana identity.
