Corydon and Southern Indiana Sites
Highlights of the Spring 2010 Pilgrimage will include tours of historic sites in the Corydon area and the special opportunity to witness the re-enactment of a landmark trial involving slavery in early Indiana. The controversial case was decided in 1820 by the Indiana Supreme Court.
The day also will include a tour of the award-winning Leora Brown School, formerly known as the Corydon Colored School, which was built in 1891. It has been rehabilitated as a cultural/educational center by Pioneers board member Maxine Brown, who renamed the school in honor of her aunt, a long-time and beloved teacher. Maxine also is arranging for historic re-enactors to greet and guide the Pioneers in Corydon.
Our luncheon speaker will be Lincoln scholar William Bartelt, author of There I Grew Up, a new book that focuses on our 16th president’s youth in Indiana.
- Enjoy breakfast during our drive south. Author/pilgrimage chairman Nelson Price will provide commentary en route about famous local people and places.
- At the Overlook, a scenic restaurant in Leavenworth that overlooks the Ohio River, enjoy lunch and savor a Lincoln presentation by William Bartelt, author of There I Grew Up
