Battle of Corydon (ridge line defense)
Toughluck Says: On a ridge south of town, the local militia and volunteers attempted to halt Morgan's raiders in their tracks. Today, the site is a series of memorial with minimal information about the raid. It is a nice park if you're looking for a quiet place to let the kids run. Well...
Toughluck Says: The primary action of the battle takes place on the road south from town. On July 9, 1863, a force of 400 local militia and volunteers, led by Col. Lewis Jordan attempted to stop Col. John Hunt Morgan and 2,400 cavalry, just south of town. The Raiders surrounded the town and...
Toughluck Says: Gov. Frank O'Bannon was a well liked governor and a member of a family with long public service to the state.
davecallahan Says: This is one of the few places for kids to have fun in the area. It is a miniature golf course with a video arcade center. The golf part is 18 holes in the blazing hot sun for about $5. The holes aren't up to PuttPutt standards of difficulty but they are challenging to little...
davecallahan Says: This is a very nice park with many facilities for the whole family.There are 3 walking trails (mostly paved but some gravel). There is a large playground with jungle gym, slides, swings on the interior hill of the park. Picnic tables are placed along the roadway that runs...

davecallahan Says: This is where we ate one of our veterans' reunion meals. Imagine 50 people or so standing in line waiting for tables all together. That is what we did; the other place that was supposed to take our group had a mix-up and booked two groups of people for the same set of...
davecallahan Says: This is an old fashioned drug store with a soda parlor on one side.We stopped in to have a look and ended up with an old fashioned rootbeer ice cream float and a super banana split/sundae. While talking to the friendly sodacounter person we found out that her husband was on...
Cracker Barrel: shop here but don't eat here
davecallahan Says: This is a restaurant with warehouse ceilings and no ambience and also an old fashioned store that is great.I cannot stand to eat in the restaurant part because the noise level even when only five or six tables are used is quite high and my ears start ringing. The voices...
Town Square Gallery: potpourri
davecallahan Says: With a name like that you'd expect this to be an art gallery. Well it is, in one tiny corner of the store.The store front is deceiving. When you step into the store it quickly opens up into room after room of unrelated things to purchase connected by narrow hallways. The...
davecallahan Says: Every Saturday night in the summer, there is a music jamboree in Corydon.The stars of the show may me local talent or name groups from New Zealand; they may be gospel or they could be old fashioned rock-n-roll. Whoever they are and whatever music they play, it will be top...
davecallahan Says: The bandstand in the historic town square is where the bands play for the summer concerts every Friday from June to September. The music types include big band groups, violin quartets, dulcimer ensembles, brass band, local popular groups (River-City, The Doctors, Kosairs)....
davecallahan Says: Corydon is a very safe city.There have been only 1 murder and 3 rapes in the last 6 years.The only noticeable item on the crime sheets is petty thefts (shoplifting) and it is far below the national average.Having said that Corydon is safe, doesn't mean that normal...
davecallahan Says: Corydon has had its share of weather warnings and advisories for tornadoes and floods over the years. The closest that any dangerous tornado has been to Corydon was 11 miles west in 1974. This part of Indiana has been known to get 6 or 7 inches of rainfall in a 24 hour...
Helpfulness
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: The temperature in this part of Indiana is consistently in the ninties in the summer (which is when we visit). The days are normally clear and the sun is scortching. You really need a good grade of sunscreen if you are visiting here from more northern climes. Your hands and arms will actually get burnt just from driving if you neglect the sunscreen.

Toughluck Says: Interesting cavern with a very fast moving river down the middle. It's starts out dry and you work your way back to a waterfall (4') and the running river. There are two other falls over over 8', but they are not accessible.100 Squire Boone Rd. S.W. Mauckport, IN
davecallahan Says: This is a very small commemorative park with a few monuments, one old log building, a canon and a streambed. It is another of the many reminders that Corydon played a part in the Civil War.The pictures pretty much show everything that is there.to get there:take route 337...
davecallahan Says: The Hayswood Theatre hosts a monthly music jamboree on the 2nd Friday (from March to July) for $10.The music starts at 7:30pm and runs until 9:30pm. There are only 70 seats available so you have to get there early.State and national talent will take the stage to entertain...

$35 gets you a cart and 18 holes. The long tees are 6800 yards and the short ones are 5100 yards.
The course is quite hilly with elevation on both tees and greens on some holes. Water is a peripheral hazard on three holes and man-made falls provide a nice backdrop view. Sand traps bracket most greens but the fairways are fairly wide with a mix of young and mature trees bordering. The short doglegs are tough because the trees block view and trajectory from tee to green. The course has bent grass greens and blue grass fairways with fescues for the rough. The roughs are tough and the greens undulate.
The facilities has a full service pro shop; beverage and snack bar; dining room; practice area;

davecallahan Says: You got to love winter in Corydon. Lots of cold wind and blowing snow for a couple days then a stretch of sunshine and temperature in the 40s then another short stretch of snow then more sun. It cycles like that for two months.(High-Low-Average for Dec 47°F 27°F 36°F, Jan...
davecallahan Says: Corydon is one of those towns with a strong religious base. When we go there to see friends, there are always plenty of places of worship to choose from. Hopefully, the folowing list will help you find a place that suits you.ASSEMBLY OF GOD: Highway 135 Shiloh.......

I do not know too much about Corydon other than as a casual tourist. We go to one of the motels on route 135 every 5 years or so for a national reunion of our Signal Company that served together in......
Laid out in 1808, Corydon served as Indiana’s first state capital from 1816 until 1825. This history, a well preserved square and the gently rolling hills that surround this Ohio...
