MASTER PLANNING / CORYDON COURTHOUSE SQUARE PLAN
History seeps out of every pore of the architectural fabric in downtown Corydon, the first state capitol of Indiana. The Landstory planning team charged with celebrating this heritage, identified ways to celebrate and enhance Corydon's heritage as the first state capitol. Inventory and assessment was the first step in knitting the various parts of state owned historic sites together by preparing a plan to interconnect the existing historic sites and structure. Not only did we look back but we also looked forward to improving the storytelling and interpretation of these important cultural elements as part of the celebration planned for the 2016 Bicentennial of Indiana. Tell your friends, tell your neighbors, as this should make for a memorable Hoosier experience!!
