McCormick Cabin Site, Historical frontier cabin site in Indianapolis, United States

The McCormick Cabin Site is a historic site in White River State Park in Indianapolis, Indiana, where John Wesley McCormick (1754–1837) built a cabin in 1820. Nothing of the cabin remains; a granite boulder with a plaque erected in 1924 marks the spot.

John Wesley McCormick (1754–1837) built a cabin here in 1820. That June, commissioners appointed by the Indiana legislature met at the cabin to choose the site of the permanent state capital, leading to the founding of Indianapolis. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.

The site is marked by a granite boulder with a plaque erected in 1924, which records the 1820 meeting of the commissioners. The cabin itself no longer stands, so the marker is what visitors see today in White River State Park.

The site is located in White River State Park near downtown Indianapolis and is accessible to visitors exploring the area on foot. A plaque provides background information about the early settlement and its role in the city's founding.

The granite boulder carries a plaque erected in 1924, long before the site joined the National Register of Historic Places in 1981. The cabin itself is gone; the marker stands in White River State Park as the only physical trace of the June 1820 meeting.
