Underground Adventures
Harrison County is home to not one but two stops on the Indiana Cave Trail: Squire Boone Caverns and Indiana Caverns Family Adventure Park. These ancient cave systems are open year-round, and both have opportunities for explorers of every age. Don’t worry about bad weather, because the caves are a steady 52 degrees Fahrenheit year-round.
During your visit to Squire Boone, you’ll see rushing underground streams and rare underground waterfalls. You’ll also get to explore the mill that has been churning out grain since the 1800s. At Indiana Caverns, take an underground boat ride and learn about Ice Age animal bones found in the area. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even fly on the zip coaster!Â
Historical Learning OpportunitiesÂ
Let’s not forget the historical significance of Corydon and Harrison County to the state. Aside from touring Indiana’s first state capitol, there are several other sites of historical significance located in the area, including The Battle of Corydon Memorial Park, The Governor’s Headquarters, Constitution Elm and the Leora Brown School. The Harrison County Discovery Center is a must-see, with interactive high-tech displays that makes history engaging for all ages.Â
