IHS’s latest exhibit celebrates the bicentennial of Indiana’s capital moving from Corydon to Indianapolis. In “Making a Capital in the Wilderness,” the exhibit explores how the small and underdeveloped community became the capital of the Indiana Territory in 1813, and reigned as the capital until 1825 when the State offices were moved to Indianapolis.
