Sharon...

Take US 50 all the way to Loogootee, then US 231 North to Farlen, then 58
West to Odon. Scotland is quite a bit out of your way.

By the way, the drive along US 50 at this time of year should be absolutely
wonderful...the redbud trees will be in full swing in the woods.

The Winkelpleck Library in Odon might have these on film. Call them at:
Winklepleck Public Library(812) 636-4949
202 W. Main St.
Odon, Indiana 47562

If not, call the Carnegie Library in Washington at:
Carnegie Public Library(812) 254-4586
300 W Main St
Washington, IN 47501

There is also a library in Shoals, at:
Shoals Public Library(812) 247-3838
PO Box 909

Hope these help,
