Corydon/Leavenworth

The Town of Corydon is located in Harrison County Indiana and was the first state capital until it moved to its current location of Indianapolis. The town and surrounding area is rich in history. In 2016, Corydon was designated a winner in the Indiana Stellar competition program. With a population of 3,122 residents the city is striving to revitalize their small town with growth opportunities for development while maintaining their hometown ambiance.
Because of its historic sites and the historic events that took place at Corydon, it has become a southern Indiana tourist destination. The town hosts weekly events from early spring until late fall, usually centered on its historic town square. Local events include an annual Halloween Parade, the Harrison County Fair, Friday night band concerts during the summer, and an annual reenactment of the Battle of Corydon, as well as country and bluegrass music performances. A weeklong county fair is held the last week of July at the Harrison County fairgrounds. It is one of Corydon's more popular events, with attendance usually exceeding 3,000 each night. The fair includes 4-H exhibits, a midway, demolition derbies, harness racing, and musical entertainment
