Wedding venue in Corydon, Indiana

About The Old Capitol Tea Room

The Old Capitol Tea Room is a privately owned, historic home at 501 N Capitol Avenue in downtown Corydon, Indiana. The house was built in 1916 as a three-story residence with a red-tile roof, on the site of the first Harrison County courthouse, which was later used as the Indiana territorial capitol. It is not a restaurant and is not open daily; it operates for scheduled themed tea events and private parties. The dining room and living room are transformed for each event and together seat up to 30 guests. Themed public teas run about one hour. Private parties are for groups of 15 or more and are booked primarily on weekdays and weeknights, with limited weekend dates. Each private booking lasts two hours and includes an all-catered sweet and savory tea tray with finger sandwiches, scones and desserts, plus a selection of loose-leaf teas. Outside food is not allowed except special-occasion cakes from a bakery. Hosts may decorate the vintage-styled rooms, including a gift table for showers, and guests park on Capitol Avenue or on High Street. The house is not handicapped accessible, because its registered historic status prevents structural changes to the front of the house and grounds.
