Historical Note

The Corydon State House was designed in 1812 and became the seat of territorial government in 1816. The officers of the new state of Indiana took their oaths there when Indiana was admitted to the Union. It remained the capital until 1824.

The Lanier Memorial Home is located in Madison, Jefferson County, Indiana. It was the home of James F. D. Lanier, a lawyer who came to Indiana at the age of twenty-three. The home became a state memorial in 1926.

The Pigeon Roost Memorial is located in Scott County near Underwood, Indiana and commemorates one of the last massacres of pioneer settlers by Indians in the northwestern section of this country.

The Tippecanoe Battleground Memorial is located near Battleground, Indiana in Tippecanoe County. The memorial commemorates the November 7, 1811 battle between a frontier army led by William H. Harrison and the Prophet in a last attempt to drive the white settlers back across the Ohio River. It became a memorial in 1925.
