Historic Tavern Crawl in Corydon, Indiana
Explore the history of taverns in Indiana’s first capital city during the “Historic Tavern Crawl“, set for 6 p.m. September 23, 2017, in Corydon, Indiana.
The inaugural walking tour, hosted by the Corydon Capitol State Historic Site, features local taverns and historic beverages
Enjoy period-authentic tavern drinks at several stops including Green Tree Tavern, David Craig Tavern and Conrad Tavern.
“Corydon was home to more than a dozen taverns during the First State Capital Period,” said Laura Spalding, Corydon Capitol State Historic Site program developer. “Guests can learn why there were so many taverns here, learn about the men and women who operated them and sample some drinks that might have been enjoyed by Indiana’s earliest settlers.”
The event aims to show guests that taverns were much more than drinking establishments, especially in a town where politicians were in abundance during the capital period.
Needless to say, this is a tour for ages 21 and older; cost is $20 per adult and reservations are required (call Corydon: 1-812-738-4990).
Corydon Capitol State Historic Site is located in Harrison County in southern Indiana. Part of the Indiana State Museum and Historic Sites, Corydon became the Indiana Territory capitol in 1813 and Indiana’s first state capital in 1816.
