A school building sitting abandoned in Corydon for decades is getting a new life. The Corydon School in Henderson County was purchased at auction last month by a man who plans to renovate it into a music venue. Sam Cornett is usually booking venues for a living but he tells media partner 14News he bought the school with the plan to rehab the gymnasium and create the Blue Moon Ballroom. Cornett says the venue would be a place for country musicians to perform live.
