We stopped at the site of the
Battle of Corydon on our journey home. It was here that the only pitched battle to be fought in Indiana during the American Civil War took place on July 9th, 1863. There is a little park here, complete with an old log cabin, that commemorates the battle. It was interesting to see the site and to read about the history of
Morgan's Raid.
