The John Hunt Morgan Trail meanders across covered bridges, past centuries old buildings and circles old courthouses. Some of the stops are now just fields, others old building and bridges still standing after all these years.

It takes a good map to wander the trail that, though it is marked, winds back and forth on a series of country roads through small towns and villages.

For those who don’t have time to do the whole trail, a few must stops include Corydon, a delightful historic town with a village square containing the old courthouse, charming shops, and restaurants. This is where the first battle took place after Morgan crossed the Ohio at Mauckport and then headed north. Each July, the city celebrates with reenactments during the Battle of Corydon Living History Event.

The Kintner House Inn, built in 1873, is conveniently located in downtown Corydon and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
