The Corydon Capitol commemorates the history of Indiana’s first state capital and the development of Indiana from the territorial period through statehood. Vincennes, the first territorial capital, was left in an isolated position when the Illinois Territory was separated from the Indiana Territory in 1809. In May of 1813, the capital was moved to Corydon because of its central location.
The Governor’s Headquarters was one of several brick homes built in Corydon in 1817. William Hendricks, Indiana’s second elected governor, made it his home and office from 1822 to 1824. Afterward, it was the home of the Porter-Griffin family for 134 years. It has been restored and a part of the capitol tour.
The square, Federal-style limestone capitol building, built between 1814 and 1816, was originally intended to serve as the courthouse for Harrison County. Limestone was hauled from nearby quarries to erect the 40-foot square walls and poplar and walnut logs were cut from virgin forests for the ceiling and roof supports.
