About the event
Meet at Old Capitol in Corydon from where we will carpool to River Front Park in Brandenburg. At that location we will discuss John H. Morgan's 1863 Raid to that point, including Thomas Hines' recon into Indiana and Morgan's crossing of the Ohio.
Next stop is a cluster of markers along Indiana Highway 135 before we head to Morvin’s Landing for a view of Brandenburg from the Indiana shore where we will dive a bit more into the Indiana Legion and their defense.
From Morvin's Landing we will follow Duke's Brigade to Frakes’ Mill and talk about the mills that were burned and one that wasn't.
We'll next drive to Jordan Cemetery and talk about civilian deaths on the raid.
Next stop is the Battle of Corydon Park where we will discuss the battle.
We return to the Old Capitol. Lunch for those not needing to hit the road follows.…
