Corydon- Capital of Indiana..... at one time.
For $6, you can take a brief one hour walking tour of Corydon. The town is very walkable on your own, and there are plenty of historic markers to explain everything to you. The one advantage of doing the tour is that you get to peek into a few of the historic buildings. So, if you want to actually go INSIDE of the first Capitol Building (called the Old Capitol Building), paying the $6 for this tour is a small price to pay.
The tour also takes you into a couple of rooms of the former Governor's Headquarters, and we went into the First State Office Building, which had a display on Abraham Lincoln while we were there. The display was pretty much large displays with pictures and statements about his life. There were no relics or anything. This might be a nice exhibit for younger kids on a field trip.
