Corydon is a town in Harrison Township, Harrison County, Indiana. Located north of the Ohio River in the extreme southern part of the U.S. state of Indiana, it is the seat of government for Harrison County. Corydon was founded in 1808 and served as the capital of the Indiana Territory from 1813 to 1816. It was the site of Indiana's first constitutional convention, which was held June 10–29, 1816. Forty-three convened to consider statehood for Indiana and drafted its first state constitution. Under Article XI, Section 11, of the Indiana 1816 constitution, Corydon was designated as the capital of the state until 1825, when the seat of state government was moved to Indianapolis. During the American Civil War, Corydon was the site of the Battle of Corydon, the only official pitched battle waged in Indiana. More recently, the town's numerous historic sites have helped it become a tourist destination. A portion of its downtown area is listed in the National Register of Historic Places as the Corydon Historic District. As of the 2010 census, Corydon had a population of 3,122.

came here after caves in the area. This was close to our hotel and only thing open after 6pm. We came did the blacklist mini golf at 7pm as this place closed at 8pm. Veronica was super nice it was only us inside so we did the blacklist mini golf and played some fun arcade games afterwards. Veronica game some dum dums to kids afterwards. Super fun place and would suggest a good time after caving.

This is a good place to shop for the man cave. If you are from my generation, I'm retired, get ready for a walk down memory lane. Men will definitely not mind antiquing with the wife if you come here. If you are in Corydon, be sure to check it out.

I was visiting in Louisville, Ky. with my Sister when she said "Let's go to Corydon, Indiana. We visited everything that was open Saturday on the old town square finishing up at Butt Drugs. After enjoying a fully packed cup of ice cream at the soda fountain I began shopping their souvenirs. The store has many things to choose from with their name on it. You need to at least purchase a coffee mug, it WILL be the talk of your office coffee break or desk. This is a real working pharmacy. Real smart looking inside, you must visit this old town and drug store.
