    Corydon is full is history. Who knew? I thought it was just a bunch of caves. It was the original…read morestate capital. Anyway, this attraction is an old tree stump covered in a pavilion. Rumor has it that Indiana delegates met under this same tree to draft Indiana's state constitution in 1816. At the time it was estimated that the tree was already 150 years old. It is interesting to not that the actual tree has been dead since 1925 due to Dutch Elm disease, and the stump and trunk is all that remains. It does look well preserved though. I guess the coal tar they used worked like magic. The tree limbs and branches that were cut from the trunk, opened up a money making opportunity. They were chopped into pieces and sold as souvenirs There is limited parking in front of some of the houses on the street that the stump is on. However, much of the curb is painted yellow for no parking. tree's limbs and branches. These were subsequently chopped into pieces and sold as souvenirs. This is definitely worth a visit if you are in Corydon. Some people question how long the stump will be around due to the declining number of people that knows the tree's significance and the uncertainty of how long the tree's preservation efforts would be effective. Well, as with most road side attractions I visit and review, this is probably not a very long stop. I was there less than 5 minutes. You may want to consider planning out additional stops or making it part of a larger itinerary.I would start with the Indiana Caverns and/or the Harrison County Discovery Center, which is right down the street.

    Indiana's first constitution was signed under this tree! And although the tree died from Elm…read moredisease in 1925, the trunk was preserved. It's huge! The story goes... In 1816, the 43 Indiana delegates met to draft the first constitution. It was unbearably hot in the log cabin they met in, so they stepped outside to work on the constitution under this elm tree. At the time, the elm was reported to be over 130 feet tall and 50 feet wide, and about 150 years old. Indiana's first constitution included several progressive laws, like a ban on slavery! This is not only a cool roadside stop, but also a part of important Indiana history.

    Frank O'Bannon was a Corydon native and 47th Governor of Indiana (1997-2003). He served as a Served…read moreas State Senator from Corydon for 18 years. He is known for Creating the first Community College system in state, and being the first Governor to have a computer on his desk. Sadly, he died in office after suffering a stroke. The bronze statue was created by Raymond Graf in 2008 for the city's 200th anniversary. It is situated on the plaza of Indiana's First State Capitol building, and depicts O'Bannon sitting on a granite bench. There is an empty granite bench behind the sculpture. There is a flag pole behind both of those benches, flying the American flag. To the left of the structure is a bronze plaque that identifies the sculpture, its artist, date of dedication and its purpose. To the right and behind the sculpture is three granite pillars, The first is of Lewis McClellan O'Bannon, Frank O'Bannon's grand-father, the second is of Robert Presley O'Bannon, Frank O'Bannon's father. The bronze plaques on their respective columns have a image of their face and lists their accomplishments. The third column has a bronze plaque that lists some of the Frank O'Bannon's accomplishments. Unlike the other two though, it does not have an image of his face. The sculpture is in a nice plaza area in front of city hall. There are tons of free street parking available on the street in front of and surrounding the statue. It is a nice attraction to see if you are in town. Even if you have no idea who Frank O'Bannon is. I sure didn't. You, however, will probably not spend a lot of time there. Anyway, I would recommend coupling this trip with other stops such as Indiana Cavern, the Harrison County Interpretive Museum (which is across the street), the William Henry Harrison Log Cabin (catacorner from) and the Constitutional Elm Stump (in walking distance across the street).

    We (my two grandsons - ages 9 and 16 and their old gramma) opted for the indoor "glow golf" and…read morearcade games today. Glow golf was rough for this old gramma -- dark and kind of dangerous with all the hidden ups and downs making navigating the various holes a bit scary (in that I feared falling and breaking bones, neither of which happened, thankfully). I was very glad when the mini golf was over! Actually, I think my grandsons were as well. They also have daylight outdoor mini golf, which would have been a better choice for me. Afterward I gave each boy $10 in quarters (ATM and change machines on site) to play with in the arcade. Prizes were crap, naturally, but they had fun. A few games were out of order, sadly. I would not wholeheartedly recommend this venue, but it suited this Spring Break entertainment quest today.

    We just happened to be out this way and my wife wanted to treat our kids…read more The place is small, for sure, but somehow they managed to cram an 18 hole indoor mini golf course inside. The decorations are pretty cool, definitely very family friendly. I didn't find the holes very challenging, but the ones that were seemed impossible. They have a small arcade with about 15 games. Most seemed kinda dated, but the kids still enjoyed themselves. No prizes! But if you have little kids, that is kind of a godsend. There is a small snack bar inside so you could get a drink. They also offer outdoor mini golf, but it was too cold and we did not for that so I have zero opinion on that. The course seemed pretty small, but Corydon Indiana, It is what it is. Nice guy worked there, very helpful. Three stars just because it was fun, but just left something to be desired.
