Corydon Indiana Hotel Located in Historical First Indiana State Capital!





History Buffs! Look out! There’s a new and exciting piece of American history you just cannot afford to miss!


Corydon, Indiana, may seem like just another small town, but Corydon has a unique history that should interest many. Corydon was founded in 1808 and was never a town to undergo a dull moment. Even before its founding, Corydon was a central location. For example, in the American Revolution, Corydon was captured by George Rogers Clark from the British. Such historical legacy can be researched in the Harrison County Public Library, less than one mile from the Holiday Inn Express in Corydon.


Many probably know Corydon as Indiana’s first state capital. It was indeed the capital of the Indiana territory from May 1, 1813 to December 11, 1816. The territory then became a state and the capital remained in Corydon until January 10, 1825 when it moved to its present location in Indianapolis. Visitors to the area may enjoy the tours of historical sites, such as the first state capitol building, the Constitutional Elm, the historical houses of the Governor and many more sites. You can pick up brochures or an over-sized map of the historic downtown Corydon during your stay at Holiday Inn Express in Corydon.


The most famous historical incident for Corydon occurred during the Civil War. The Battle of Corydon occurred on July 9, 1863. The Confederate General John Hunt Morgan confronted and defeated the Union army in this small town. The Confederates raided the town’s treasury for $690 and proceeded to demand money from business owners in the area. This historic battle is commemorated every year in the Battle of Corydon re-enactment. This takes place from July 8-10, 2011. Battles are re-enacted, and families enjoy some old-fashioned fun during the celebration. All-year-round, the site of the battle can be seen at the Battle of Corydon Memorial Park. Holiday Inn Express can recommend several walking tours that have historical significance, such as the John Hunt Morgan walking trail.


So history buffs come on down to Corydon, Indiana. You can enjoy the modern conveniences of our hotel the Holiday Inn Express; such as free wireless internet, as well as the historical legacy of one small American town. Or better yet, come visit us in July and watch the re-enactment of the Battle of Corydon. You can enjoy the old-fashioned festivities before returning to the air-conditioned comfort of our hotel.


Make your reservation today at our Corydon Indiana Hotel The Holiday Inn Express by calling us directly at 812-738-1623 or visit our Holiday Inn Express Corydon website online.

Corydon Hotel Located near the Spectacular Thunder Over Louisville!



One of the biggest fireworks and air shows in the world offers entices travelers to Louisville, Kentucky on April 16, 2011!


Thunder Over Louisville is a fireworks show and air show that is beyond compare. It’s one thing to see the fireworks that last nearly one half hour, but it’s quite another to contemplate the hugeness of the display. There are 60 tons of fireworks shells used, 250 tons of launching tubes, 2 millions pounds of sand, 1,800 feet of barges, 700 miles of wire cable, and 20 firing boards. Wow! This is the largest show that Zambellis, the largest fireworks family in the world, performs each year. It is coordinated to soundtracks of popular music, and the $1 million investment pays off.


Thunder Over Louisville started as a small beer garden sponsored by Kroger in 1988 to kick off Derby, but it had grown massively since then. The festival brings in $31 million in revenue to local businesses and the cities surrounding the area. Even Holiday Inn Express in Corydon, Indiana, sees business from this event. While partying all day, watching the air show and the fireworks, guests can travel away from the late-night revelry into peaceful Corydon, simply 20 miles away from the show! How better to end a day outside then a relaxing night at the quiet Holiday Inn Express in Corydon, Indiana.


This year, Thunder Over Louisville features many exciting events that you won’t want to miss. The air show and boat show is spectacular. It begins at 3:00pm and lasts until 9:30pm when the fireworks begin. McDonalds sponsors a Thunder Funder competition that will occur from 5:00pm to 9:00pm. The fireworks, of course, cap the whole evening off. Besides scheduled events, restaurants, local stores, and even venders add to the festival environment along the streets of Clarksville, Jeffersonville, Louisville, and New Albany. There are so many places to be a part of the festival that millions of people can attend!


Holiday Inn Express in Corydon, Indiana, can help make Thunder Over Louisville spectacular for you. We may not be on the river overlooking the fireworks, but you can find a comfortable, quiet hotel to retire to when the festival is over. No worries about partying neighbors or police sirens here! We offer a refuge from traffic and the craziness of the late-night revelry. So come on down and call or “click” today to make reservations. If you look in the horizon to the West on April 16, 2011, you may even see some of those awesome fireworks from here!


Make your reservation today by calling us directly at 812-738-1623 or visit our Holiday Inn Express Corydon website online.
