Indiana's Constitutional Convention began in Coryd

Indiana's Constitutional Convention began in Corydon #OnThisDay in 1816 with 43 delegates gathering to draft the state’s first constitution. The Constitutional Convention lasted until delegates signed the Constitution on June 29.

Delegates usually met in a courthouse building to discuss and write, but they sometimes went outside and sat under the shade of a large elm tree – now known as the “Constitution Elm” – due to the heat.

Although the Constitution Elm died in 1925, a portion of the tree’s trunk is preserved and still stands near the Corydon Capitol State Historic Site!

Did you know Indiana was covered by oceans hundred

Did you know Indiana was covered by oceans hundreds of millions of years ago? 🤔 It's true!

Sea life thrived here, including a large armored fish called Dunkleosteus.

This fish, which is now extinct, could have a bite force of 1,350+ pounds. 😳 Plus, it could open and close its jaw in 60 milliseconds or less!

It's #NationalDoughnutDay! 🍩 Did you know Nati

It's #NationalDoughnutDay! 🍩

Did you know National Doughnut Day began in 1938 as a way to honor women who served doughnuts to soldiers during World War I?

Helen Purviance of Huntington, Indiana, started @salvationarmyus “Doughnut Girl” program in France on October 19, 1917. She came up with the idea to serve fresh doughnuts to American "doughboys" – or soldiers – as a way to remind them of home.
