The Battle of Corydon, the only Civil War battle in Indiana, occurred on July 9, 1863. The battle included the Union’s Harrison County Home Guard, and 2,400 confederate cavalry commanded by General John Hunt Morgan (known as Morgan’s Raiders). Morgan ultimately went on to win the battle and continue a rampage through Indiana, Ohio and up into Pennsylvania.
The monument is a copy of Marie Antoinette’s Temple of Love, in the gardens at the Palace of Versailles in Paris. It was dedicated to Florence Brokaw Martin Satterwhite, who died in 1927, by her husband Preston Pope Satterwhite, a wealthy surgeon.
The 109 year-old Skuller’s Clock was installed by Harry Skuller, a Lexington Jewelry store owner, back in 1913. The clock has gone through various modifications over the years, and had to be partially restored after a violent storm damaged it in 1974. The eyes, a distinct feature of the clock, were part of advertisement for an optometrist (Dr. L. H. Echols) that was associated with the jewelry store. Lexington is located in the state of Kentucky.
