Description

Just south of Corydon, the Battle of Corydon Historic Site preserves the ground where Confederate cavalry under Brigadier General John Hunt Morgan clashed with Indiana Home Guard troops on July 9, 1863, during Morgan’s Raid. It is recognized as the only Civil War battle fought on Indiana soil.

Visitors can explore preserved earthworks and interpretive displays that explain the raid, the local response, and the way the war reached communities far beyond the main battlefields. It is a quiet, reflective stop for travelers interested in Indiana history, the Civil War, and the people who defended their own neighborhoods.
