Old Scott County Jail
Scott County
This stone jail in Waldron was built in 1908 and emptied in 1935, when the new courthouse put the jail on its third floor. The WPA made plans to turn it into the town's public library, which used it from 1938 to about 1947. Later the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts met here.
