Corydon, County seat of Harrison County in Indiana, United States
The town of Corydon extends along southern Indiana, situated 25 miles west of Louisville with limestone buildings and wide streets forming its center.
Corydon functioned as Indiana's territorial capital from 1813 to 1816, then continued as the state capital until 1825 when officials relocated government operations to Indianapolis.
The Harrison County Fair, established as Indiana's first county fair, brings residents together each summer for agricultural exhibitions and community celebrations.
The preserved First State Capitol building at 202 East Walnut Street opens daily for guided tours through Indiana's early governmental chambers and offices.
On July 9, 1863, Confederate General John Morgan's forces engaged 450 Indiana militiamen in Corydon, marking the only Civil War battle on Indiana soil.
