Gretchen,

There is indeed a bed and breakfast or two in Jasper. I made the trip
two summers in a row 1997 & 1998 and stayed at Power's Inn Bed and
Breakfast -- Alice and Joe Garland, 812-482-3018. Tell them Linda from
Sarasota, FL told you anout their place.

The Jasper Library is a fantastic resource for genealogy. They were open
M-Th from 9 to 8 and Fri & Sat 9 to 5 and closed Sunday. Huntingburg has
a lovely building of a library, The genealogy section was much smaller
than Jasper. I don't know what facilities they had for films (Jasper had
at least 4 readers). I have in my notes that Huntingburg library only
open till 8 Monday & Wedenesday, and till 5 other days, closed on
Sunday. There is health department and courthouse on/off the square in
Jasper -- someone else on list will have to give you the hours for
them. Good luck with your research in Jasper. The first time I was
there I read a film that listed my immigrant familiy's voyage to the US
-- it was so exciting to make that connection in the community where
they lived.
