Corydon Historic District

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Corydon Historic District of Corydon, Indiana is on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1973 the district comprised of the old statehouse and the square around, and in 1989 it was extended so that it extends to Indian Creek in the north and west, College Avenue in the east, and Little Indian Creek to the south. Eight buildings within the district were standing when Corydon was the capital of Indiana.

The centerpiece is the two-story limestone building that was the capital of Indiana from 1816-1825, and is now the Corydon Capital State Historic Site. Next to it is the Harrison County Courthouse. In between are historical markers denoting John Hunt Morgan's capture of the town in July of 1863. It sees 30,000 visitors every year.[1]

Around the square is a series of shops, one restaurant (Magdalena's), and a Masonic temple.

The Kintner House Hotel is within the district, and is itself in the National Historic Register.
