About CorydonThrough the influence of Indiana congressman Jonathon Jennings, the territorial capital of Indiana was moved from Vincennes to Corydon in 1813, and the state constitution was drawn up. The town served as the state capital 1816-25.
The Battle of Corydon, Indiana's only official Civil War conflict, took place a mile south when the home guard met the main force of Gen. John H. Morgan's Confederate Raiders on July 9, 1863. The home guard troops surrendered and were held captive during the famous raiders' brief stay.
