Old Settlers Day 1985

Description:	Old Settlers Day was held annually on July 4th beginning in 1980 and celebrated the communitys pioneer heritage. The one-day event took place primarily on the square in downtown Corydon and featured people in pioneer costume demonstrating pioneer-era techniques in building, cooking, sewing, hunting, and other activities. Pioneer era games, music, and dancing also were an important aspect of the event. In addition, a reenactment of the Civil War Battle of Corydon was often presented. The popular festival was extended to two days in 2002 and renamed Old Capital Days. It continues to be a popular event on the square and is held during the first week of July.
