A bit of Corydon history:

5 February –
1959 – Corydon, IN. “Kean’s Kolum” in the "Corydon Republican" points out that the state of Indiana did not own the land on which the old capitol building sits, until the state purchased the site in 1917, to create the park. All the years preceding, from 1808 until 1917, the ground belonged to Harrison County, even while the courthouse (i.e.: the old capitol) served the state. [Griffin 2; p. 29]
