With an estimated 37,000 people living there, the community offers valuable resources that work together to meet the needs of its growing population. Whether your interest is Blackjack or stalagmites, Harrison County has some unique attractions, including O'Bannon Woods State Park, Squire Boone Caverns and Village, the Zimmerman Art Glass Factory, Turtle Run Winery and, of course, Horseshoe Casino Hotel.
When Horseshoe Casino Hotel dropped anchor in Harrison County, Indiana and became the area's largest employer (more than 2,000 jobs), revenue immediately went to work in the community, providing countless dollars toward civic and educational projects and organizations, including the Harrison County Lifelong Learning Center. The casino offers more than 2,500 slot machines and 142 table games. Holding the title of the world's largest gaming vessel, the boat is 452 feet long and 100 feet wide. The resort also includes a 503-room hotel and The Chariot Run 18-hole golf course.
An up-and-coming hot spot for business development is in and around the I-64 Lanesville interchange, where plans are underway for improving the infrastructure to accommodate new business growth. Icon Metal Forming and Tyson Foods are major employers, as is Harrison County Hospital, which has built a new facility south if I-64 between SR337 and Corydon-Ramsey Road.
Downtown Corydon is an entertaining and appetizing lesson in history. As the original capitol of Indiana, many historic buildings and sites encourage visitors to step back in time and enjoy a slower pace of life. Antique shops, quaint boutiques and wonderful restaurants make Corydon a "must-experience" town in Southern Indiana.
Incredible views are around every corner of Harrison County, including the underground passageways of nearby caves. The Ohio River Scenic Byway twists and turns itself around scenic overlooks, stately mansions and green fields in Harrison County.
The area features homes ranging from classic farmhouses to contemporary houses in new developments. Housing options fir all budgets and needs, from expansive acreage to modern developments to historic properties. Harrison County's rural and small town atmosphere, beautiful scenery, combined with unique entertainment and cultural offerings make settling down a sure bet to achieving a comfortable and rewarding lifestyle.
