This one was a genuine labor of love. I have so many great memories, from over the many years. I went here on school field trips, our parents took us here, and I have met kind people, while traveling Harrison county. I hope this video encourages many adventures and happy memories. 🙂
I was sad to see that. It was a great stop as I’m frequently in Corydon. Everyone liked the Christmas gifts I bought from White House, particularly their caramel corn.
I was born in Somerset Kentucky in 1953 but moved to Central Indiana in 1957 where I grew up. This channel is very special to me and I thoroughly enjoy watching all the videos. My older brother lives in Southern Indiana and has for many years. I get very homesick for Indiana watching these videos. I left Indiana in 1973 and never returned for more than short visits, but this channel is making me nostalgic in ways that can even bring me to tears. I love this channel. Thank-you so much for such quality video where I can see things I never got to see growing up there in the small town of Brownsburg and going off to the Navy in 1973. I have been in Florida for almost 29 years now.
Wonderful comments like yours, is why I keep making films about Indiana. Not everyone gets this place, but the ones that do, love Indiana like a beloved relative. I’m one of those people! I see people and smiles from the past, bitter-sweet memories of wonderful days. If I can bring some of that back, or show people places to make new memories, then what I’ve done isn’t in vain. 🙂
@@dawnwaterbury5525 My parents took us to Harrison county as kids, and I absolutely loved it! It’s hard to believe I live less than 25 minutes away. For this video I want to capture how beautiful it was the first time I saw it. Blue sky, green grass, vivid rock. It took me two years to do it, but now that I have, I can visit from anywhere!
@AdventureswithRoger we would go on field trip to all the different places, but this definitely makes me want to spend the day there soon. They do a light up Corydon every year for Christmas.
I'm from Bloomington Indiana and I love this channel for ideas for places to explore. I love learning the history of these places. Southern Indiana is a beautiful place during the warm months, and during the fall. Keep em coming!
Truly one of my favorite places! I hope this video both brings back good memories, and encourages others to experience Harrison County for the first time!
The beauty of this masterpiece brought tears to my eyes. I am descended from two of Harrison County's pioneer families, so this means so much to me. Thank you for loving Harrison County as much as we old Corydon kids do.
Both of my folks have been gone for decades, but I see their faces all over Harrison County, bringing back so many fond memories of our travels. I wanted to capture the joy of what I saw, when we first visited, remembering the sunshine, the crisp morning air around the old courthouse, the smell of the old caves and excitement. I filmed Harrison County over and over, many years, until I found those sunny, happy days again. I hope this film continues to bless other people, and helps them remember their happy moments.
It was a labor of love, putting this one together. My folks took us here when we were kids, and I wanted to capture all the sunny day wonder, that it had to offer. 🙂
Yet another awesome video. Harrison is definitely one of the most scenic countries in Indiana. You have given us such an in depth tour. Thank you and keep up the good work!
Harrison County is truly a beautiful place with something for everyone, especially if you love nature & history. I’m happy to call this place home. Excellent presentation as always Roger. Thank you!
@@AdventureswithRoger I saw a few things in your movie that I’ve discover in person. I’m looking forward to a trip down Doolittle Hill road soon for the majestic views of our beautiful Ohio River. Thanks again for preserving our history!
Believe it or not, in all the decades I’ve visited Harrison County, and in the last one where I’ve filmed and re-filmed areas, I only found Doolittle hill two months ago! I think I have all the highlights, except for something on private property, that’s incredibly interesting, but owners won’t let me film.
@@AdventureswithRoger I think I might know what you’re referring to on private property, and if I’m right, it would be very interesting! Too bad you can’t get access.
It was such a devastation seeing Butt Drugs close down. Been going there since I was a toddler and now at the age of 37 I can think back on the memories.
This is amazing. My dad side of the family was born and raised here. This is exciting to see all the adventure and historical landmarks. Such beautiful history. I’ve watch this video twice. Fascinating. Thank you for sharing this..
My husband and I live in Western New York ( yes, blizzards, that Western New York 😂) and we’d like to travel in the United States during our retirement years. Harrison County, Indiana is now on our ‘bucket list’. Thank you for presenting so many great destinations in your video.
This is a Great Video. I’m 65 and never knew that Harrison County had so much stuff to see & do. Now I have to come & see it for myself. Thanks, you would make a good tour guide. 😁
Was listening to some of your content when I was doing my pest control route on Saturday. I was around this area and Leavenworth. Love all your content, thanks Rodger!
My sincere pleasure! I have a cousin in her 90’s, that says these videos take her to places she used to love. It’s an honor to present these and bring back memories, as well as show things that people have never seen before. 🙂
I just realized something that gives your presentations a sort of surreal quality. You almost always film on beautiful sunny days, yet still, there are no people around. It is as though the places are abandoned.
Very much enjoy these documentaries, always interesting and eye-opening. that 'bridge to Brandenburg' 44:14 is quite a beautiful structure in itself. The great metal tuss bridges are becoming rarer and rarer as they get replaced with the plain concrete beam bridges.
One of the local Mauckport folks said the tolls impacted business, on both sides of the river. “I could run over to Brandenburg for this or that, but not if I have to pay a toll.” And vice versa. I know I take the Sherman Minton or George Rogers Clark bridges to Louisville, just to avoid tolls. It’s $4.20 each way without a transponder.
Those winding, hilly roads you're talking about? My husband was from norther Ohio & I grew up in Floyd & Harrison counties, but we met while both living in Florida (flat, straight roads). Once I retired, we moved to southern Ohio, which is very much like southern Indiana. Because he'd only known me in Florida, he was at first afraid to let me drive here. I told him that he just didn't understand - that I'd learned to drive on roads like these. He admitted that he finally got it when we went a couple of years ago to visit my family around New Albany & Corydon.
Glad to do my part! I tell people that south of Bloomington, and Nashville, is a completely hidden world. The state doesn’t spend much or any money promoting it, and it’s sort’ve on its own! People at Indianapolis and Louisville metro areas, are nearly always surprised by what’s here.
I have lived in Illinois and Michigan, but only driven through northern Indians. I am surprised at how little I know of Indiana!! I had ancestors who lived in SE Indiana, and hope to visit there someday, but now you have given me many more sites to go see
Amazing place! Over 25 years ago, my Mother and I visited the Zimmerman Glass Factory, when it was located next to the creek. Mom absolutely loved watching them work with the molten glass!
You taught me a lot about Harrison County. My dad is from Lanesville just east of Corydon. In fact my great uncle was Joe Zimmerman of Zimmerman Art Glass. Many fine memories of Harrison County growing up!
Have you ever covered the Wesley house in Henry co.? It was also part of the underground RR and had an indoor well which aided in not being spotted by monitors by water consumption. Great video, I really love your work and your channel.
Have not been to the Wesley House. I have been to several confirmed southern Indiana Underground Railroad locations, and places people have said were such. Lots of places along the Ohio River, as they were shallow areas you could wade across, before the locks were installed. In New Albany, the Carnegie Museum has s nice section, talking about the local people that ran the Underground Railroad. While slavery was always illegal in Indiana, it wasn’t illegal for slave bounty hunters to come here, and if they found someone helping them, beat up the helpers.
Loved this video. So much history there! I met a kid an he said he was a lumberjack. Never had anyone say that before! He said they mark trees in the forest down there and only cut those an leave the rest. They found part of a civil war woodburner there an they looked around and found all the other peices. I have a Morgan family photo album. Wouldn't that be something if it was from General Morgan! It's red velvet and big but alot of the pictures are missing. I'm gonna have to look at that closer. Thank you. That was a wonderful tour. I liked the music too.
Thank-you, Chris! I hoped to bring back good memories, like those I’ve had over the years. So much history in Harrison County, and I didn’t even get it all! 🙂
Thank-you, Jeff! Such a peaceful area, and they’ve done such a great job with the grounds. I think I’ve only found it on one tourist guide, in my entire life!
My hope & prayers is to get to visit this place one day. Hopefully soon! I believe I can remember my dad mentioning a Corydon, like maybe that’s where he & my mother went to pick me up when they had adopted me. He mentioned so many places throughout the years. I always assumed that Corydon was in Kentucky seeing as that’s where I was born but when me and some other siblings were taken out of the home, seems like we were staying with a older sister in Patriot? It was in the southern part of Indiana, maybe south eastern part. It’s been years since I was down that way along with a brother that had searched and found me. We traveled to the place where we were born and ended up before being taken out of the home.
Don’t put it off, write a date on the refrigerator and go! Corydon is in Harrison County, Indiana, across the Ohio River from Kentucky. Patriot, Indiana is also along the same river, northeast an hour and 45 minutes. If you first visit Madison, and drive along the river, it’s a beautiful experience. Corydon was also the home of orphan James Best, who built a career in Hollywood movies and TV. He was most famous for his role as “Sheriff Roscoe P Coltrane”, in the original Dukes of Hazzard TV series.
@@AdventureswithRoger I’ve been to Madison to, my adoptive mother had a foster mother that she would go & visit from time to time & from what I was told she apparently helped with the adoption when they adopted me. I can remember us driving down a hillside and seeing water running down the rock or stone wall before getting into Madison. I was quite young at that time but I can remember certain things about Madison. There was a historical home not too far from the river that we went through. I love the older historical homes & getting to go through them. But I can’t drive to these places on my own, I have to have someone take me. It sucks having to depend upon someone else to go on trips like that. My husband can’t handle a lot of walking either so that’s why I don’t get to go to any places that I would love to go to! I’m used to walking long distances, so the walking or hiking wouldn’t bother me none!
I know just where you’re talking about: hanging rock. It’s a waterfall to the side of the road going to downtown Madison. People used to wash their cars there! You also likely visited the historic Lanier Mansion, beautifully situated on the waterfront. Today the waterfront has been revitalized, making it an easy walk or place to push a wheelchair! Just as wonderful as you remember! I’ll put links below if you’d like a virtual tour!

@@jaynemarcum5515 Just west of the mansion, where you buy tickets to see it, is a museum and old depot to tour. I try to mention these easy activities, as not everyone is up to hiking steep ravines, such as Clifty Falls.
I've forgotten the exact number, but the current Zimmermans of the glass factory are the 3rd or 4th generation - maybe 5th, and that's something in today's world.
@@AdventureswithRoger I have never heard of it til I saw an episode that started at Greensburg and shifted south, it was about 5 to 6 weeks ago. I do believe there was a sign or maybe an engraving on a stone that said God's Country. Was at St Meinred a week ago and was trying to find it
@@es47112 For real though, people from outside southern Indiana, don’t realize how desolate it gets, between Corydon and Evansville. Traveling along I-64, Leavenworth exit has two truck stops and a Hardee’s. Ferdinand has a gas station and a few fast food places. Lynnville has a gas station, then nothing until Evansville! When I lived near Indianapolis, it was a given that fast food and gas stations would be every other block. 🙂
Butt Drugs, "suppositories are our specialties". Old school plug... so to speak 😂 In all seriousness though, I have learned more about the state of Indiana in one single video on this channel then my whole school career growing up in Indiana. What a failure of the Indianapolis Public School System.
Back in 1976, during our nation’s bicentennial, our elementary was taking us on road trips and doing all kinds of fun, Indiana history things. It was a good time, and I can’t remember a single kid that didn’t enjoy it.
At my last tour, for this segment, I was the last tourist of the day. I got a great, personalized tour, able to ask any question I wanted to. Those are the best ones! 🙂
I don’t drink, so have never covered wineries. A couple of my friends, a married couple, visit them all the time. I told them they should make a channel about it!
It's with sadness that I heard Butt Drugs closed its doors for the last time! Loved my Butt shakes! We'd make a point to visit when we visit from northwest Indiana.
Lots and lots of people feel the same. I hate to see a beloved family business, and institution, close. Salem, Indiana has a drugstore on their square, with a soda fountain. Over at old downtown Jeffersonville, Schimpff’s has both the fountain and is a candy factory. A little closer to you is Zaharako’s, in Columbus, Indiana. There are a few still out there, but they are definitely thinning out!
The casino and Captain Franks grave are all I knew about in that area. Someone had mentioned a Native American mound where the casino is today, but I couldn’t find anything. What do you have?
What are those huge potholes that are scattered throughout the county? Theyre really easy to see on google maps. Some are circular ponds. Some are just round holes in the ground. Very peculiar.
All I can say is, Wow, Roger! I feel so lucky to be a resident of Harrison County Indiana.
This one was a genuine labor of love. I have so many great memories, from over the many years. I went here on school field trips, our parents took us here, and I have met kind people, while traveling Harrison county. I hope this video encourages many adventures and happy memories. 🙂

Are you thinking St Joseph Holy Family at Gods Country? It’s at Bristow.
@@AdventureswithRoger I have never heard of it til I saw an episode that started at Greensburg and shifted south, it was about 5 to 6 weeks ago. I do believe there was a sign or maybe an engraving on a stone that said God's Country. Was at St Meinred a week ago and was trying to find it
@@AdventureswithRoger that gives me another reason to drive downstate again
You didn't show us the Wal-mart
I actually filmed Walmart, and all the places to eat, but ended up not using them. 😀
@@AdventureswithRoger Well I guess we should know that should go with out saying. Love all your shows looking forward to the next.
@@es47112 For real though, people from outside southern Indiana, don’t realize how desolate it gets, between Corydon and Evansville. Traveling along I-64, Leavenworth exit has two truck stops and a Hardee’s. Ferdinand has a gas station and a few fast food places. Lynnville has a gas station, then nothing until Evansville! When I lived near Indianapolis, it was a given that fast food and gas stations would be every other block. 🙂
Butt Drugs, "suppositories are our specialties". Old school plug... so to speak 😂
In all seriousness though, I have learned more about the state of Indiana in one single video on this channel then my whole school career growing up in Indiana. What a failure of the Indianapolis Public School System.
Back in 1976, during our nation’s bicentennial, our elementary was taking us on road trips and doing all kinds of fun, Indiana history things. It was a good time, and I can’t remember a single kid that didn’t enjoy it.
Harrison springs is. Big water spring 🤠🤔
@@davidrice3337 well of course the federal government only helps out big huge corporations. They couldn't care less about Mom and Pop stores
Good morning, how are you doing, do you know e book on Indiana whith picture, thank you
👍
Gotta visit Flip Daddy's restaraunt with their cinammon flavored sweet patatoes fries!
I’ve passed through those doors a few times! 🙂
💙Indiana
My first job was a tour guide at the First Capitol building
At my last tour, for this segment, I was the last tourist of the day. I got a great, personalized tour, able to ask any question I wanted to. Those are the best ones! 🙂
Let's not forget Turtle Run Winery!
I don’t drink, so have never covered wineries. A couple of my friends, a married couple, visit them all the time. I told them they should make a channel about it!
It's with sadness that I heard Butt Drugs closed its doors for the last time! Loved my Butt shakes! We'd make a point to visit when we visit from northwest Indiana.
Lots and lots of people feel the same. I hate to see a beloved family business, and institution, close. Salem, Indiana has a drugstore on their square, with a soda fountain. Over at old downtown Jeffersonville, Schimpff’s has both the fountain and is a candy factory. A little closer to you is Zaharako’s, in Columbus, Indiana. There are a few still out there, but they are definitely thinning out!
In in North Indiana also, Valparaiso. This is the first I've heard about butt drugs. Wish I knew about all these cool things in Indiana years ago.
@@whatyoumakeofit6635 I live in Wanatah, on Hwy 421.
I’m In Corydon watching This
Beautiful day for a ride!
RIP Butt Drugs, severity missed
Anyone go to corydon school
nothing about southeast Harison County except the casino, Why not?
The casino and Captain Franks grave are all I knew about in that area. Someone had mentioned a Native American mound where the casino is today, but I couldn’t find anything. What do you have?
I grew up in Indianapolis
hello
The White House is now Tease Salon. We have a beautiful town and county. Burt Drugs is gone too. 😢
I really liked White House’s chocolate and popcorn, so sad!!😔
If you’re ever in Corydon, make sure to stop by old capital thrift store they got something for just about anybody
It’s also kind of weird to see my hometown on a tour like this
If your in Missouri should stop bye Uranus fudge factory crazy name for a candy store world famous great place 😂
Right after this comment the butt pharmacy comes up 😂 too funny
Lots and lots of places with fun names! There used to be a gas station / restaurant in northern Indiana, called “Eat here and get gas”: classic!
You talk about Butt Drugs as if it still existed, only to then let us down.
It was a true bummer that it closed.
What are those huge potholes that are scattered throughout the county? Theyre really easy to see on google maps. Some are circular ponds. Some are just round holes in the ground. Very peculiar.
Sink holes. It’s a very pronounced karst limestone environment, with over 600 known caves. It’s a cavers paradise! 🙂
