There is a library in southwest Georgia where you will find information available no place else. It is the Ellen Payne Odom Genealogy Library, founded on a million dollar bequest from Mrs. Odom. What makes the Odom Library so unique? A record number of Scottish clans have declared the Odom Library as the depository of their genealogical archives since the library's opening in 1990. If you are boxing while the library is open, stroll through and look at all the artifacts stored there.
On the other side of the library parking lot is the small unassuming "Bert Harsh Park". What is so special about this little park? It is the first Historic Grove to be planted in a USA-certified Tree City. All the trees in the park were planted in honor or memory of people: The Robert E. Lee Sweet Gum, the Jimmy Carter Slash Pine and the Juliette Gordon Low Magnolia. It's not a big park, but it's ours!
In honor of the library and the park, there is a library tree planted in a letterbox. To find it, park in the lot between the library and the park. Find the sundial in the park. Sit and rest a spell facing the library. Directly to your left, sprouting in the center of the bottom of the boxwood you'll find the Library Tree.
