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.

Harrison and the Prophet in a last attempt to drive the white settlers back across the Ohio River. It became a memorial in 1925.
