Welcome to Harrison County Indiana!
Harrison County has a wonderfully rich history in the emergence of Indiana as our 19th state and the establishment of Corydon as Indiana's first state capital. Just as the early representatives met under the Constitution Elm in Corydon to draft Indiana's first Constitution, the current members of Harrison County government are working hard to represent the needs and will of the people of Harrison County Indiana. Harrison County provides residents with a progressive business community, active social, civic, and religious organizations, and a friendly small-town feel.
Harrison County's rural location is just 25 minutes from the city center of Louisville, Kentucky, the nation's 16th largest city. The outstanding location and growing economy have made Harrison County one of Indiana's fastest-growing counties in recent years. For business or for pleasure we invite you to explore Harrison County Indiana and see for yourself why our community is an ideal place to live, work, and play.

Sign up to be a Poll Worker!
Poll workers are critical to the success of an election. Having an adequate number of poll workers to staff polling places on and before Election Day can ensure voters receive the assistance they need at the polls and can help provide a positive and smooth voting experience for all. By signing up to be a poll worker, you can help the citizens of Harrison County to Vote.
Poll workers are the face of the election office during voting. As a poll worker you are tasked election workers with setting up and preparing the polling location, welcoming voters, verifying voter registrations, and issuing ballots. Poll workers also help ensure voters understand the voting process by demonstrating how to use voting equipment and explaining voting procedures.
Sound interesting! It is! "Poll workers play a vital role in maintaining accessible and accurate elections," says Clerk Sherry Brown.
For more information on how to become an election worker please contact Clerk Sherry Brown at 812-738-8149 or email her at sherrybrown@harrisoncounty.in.gov
Health Department Clothing Drive
Hello Everyone!
Now until the end of September we will be holding a clothing drive!
We are accepting gently used clothing for any gender, size, and season that you would like to donate! So now is the perfect time to get rid of all the clothes in your closet that you do not wear or that do not fit anymore!
These items can be brought to the Health Department to any of our offices and we will be taking them to Harrison County Community Services on Friday, September 27th.
Thank you!! 😊

HARRISON COUNTY TOWN PLANNING INITIATIVE
The Harrison County Planning Initiative is a grassroots effort that aims to help each town in the county identify a strategic direction for their future. It was identified through the Harrison County Leadership Planning Initiative, and Harrison County Community Foundation (HCCF) realized the potential that could result from providing the resources for each town to dream big. This process starts at the local level and is driven by residents and businesses in each town – basically the people who know their town best!
The Harrison County Leadership supports the Harrison County Town Planning Initiative.
Visit the Harrison County Town Planning Initiative website to learn more and see how you can become involved!
