Host your event at the site of Indiana’s first state capital. The historic Capitol building, as well as the downtown square, were recently renovated and feature beautiful, new landscaping. Ample space allows for successful events of all types

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.
