I first visited Corydon, IN on a quick day trip from Louisville. It's just 30 minutes by car (or 2 hours south of Indianapolis). The nearest airport is Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF), about 40 minutes away by car.

I loved discovering all the local history dating back to when Corydon was Indiana’s first state capital. It's definitely a must-see destination in Southern Indiana. I stayed at Holiday Inn Express Corydon which is close to the attractions.
