Book Your Next Event Today

Located approximately one block northeast of the downtown square, the First State Office Building is a historic space with all the modern conveniences needed to ensure a successful event. This space, dating back to 1816, is a converted residence with two mid-size meeting rooms that can be combined. It includes a kitchen for catering, as well as private restrooms. Outdoor space is available.

Corydon is Indiana’s first state capital and follows the development of Indiana from a territory to a state. In June of 1816, 43 delegates met in Corydon to draft the first state constitution. Much of their work was completed under the shade of a large elm tree. The trunk of the tree, now known as “Constitution Elm,” is still standing. The first state election was on Aug. 5, 1816, and Jonathan Jennings was elected governor.
