Bishop Hill was the site of a utopian religious community founded in 1846 by Swedish pietist Eric Janson (1808–1850) and his followers. A number of historically significant buildings have survived and are scattered throughout the village, four of which are owned by the state and managed as part of the Bishop Hill State Historic Site. The 1848 Colony Church is a two-story frame building. The three-story stuccoed-brick 1850s Colony Hotel served commercial travelers and provided a link to the outside world. The 1850 "Boys' Dormitory" is a small two-story frame structure believed to have provided housing for boys making the transition to working adulthood. An 1850s Colony barn was relocated behind the Hotel to the site of the original Hotel stable. In addition to the historic structures, the state owns the village park with a gazebo and memorials to the town's early settlers and Civil War soldiers. The brick museum building houses a valuable collection of primitivist paintings by colonist Olof Krans (1838–1916).

Architectural historians consider the Francis Costigan House a masterpiece of 19th-century design. The house is situated on a narrow city lot measuring only 22 feet in width. Costigan built this house in 1850 as his private residence. The brick two-story house is Greek Revival in style and has a portico with two fluted columns capped with Corinthian capitals. The portico is heavily adorned and includes a sliding pocket door entry. The ceiling of the portico is deeply coffered and heavily decorated. The interior of the house has a magnificent drawing room 30 feet long with bow end, twin fireplaces, and a high ceiling with deeply depressed panels, heavily ornamented with egg-and-dart moldings. The house shows Costigan's characteristically fine woodwork, including both curved and sliding doors and a stepladder staircase with a push gate at the top. This creative use of space reflects Costigan's skill and ingenuity as an architect to create such an elegant house in a limited space.

The Italianate structure known as the U. S. Grant Home was built in 1859–60 as a residence by Alexander J. Jackson of Galena. When Ulysses S. Grant returned to the city in 1865 as a Civil War hero, he was presented the house as part of the city's celebration. All of the rooms are decorated and furnished to represent the mid-1860s. Many of the furnishings belonged to the Grant family.

Frank Phillips, an ambitious barber-turned-bond salesman from Iowa, visited Bartlesville in 1903 to assess business possibilities in the surrounding oil fields. After a series of failures that nearly caused him to abandon the business, a string of 81 straight successful oil wells insured success. By 1909, he had completed construction of the Frank Phillips Home. From then until Frank's death in 1950, the home was the setting from which he, his family and friends, and the community that grew up around them, played a key role in the development of the oil industry in America. With few exceptions, the furniture, decorations, and even personal effects are original. As a consequence, the Home depicts the lives, tastes, fashions, and values of the Phillips and their world. As an example of the personal home of an Oklahoma oil millionaire, it is a window through which visitors can step back to those times, and experience the home life of one of America's oil men.

The house offers tours and educational and recreational programs and events.

The Corydon Capitol commemorates the role of Corydon, Indiana as the second capital of the Indiana Territory and the first capital of the state of Indiana.

Corydon remained state capital until 1825, when the honor was transferred to Indianapolis.
