Finding aid only for Folklife Archives Project 1247. Student paper titled “The Scarevenger Hunt” in which Phil R. Aaron documents the use of scarecrows throughout Adair County.

The paper contains photographs of various scarecrows, hand drawn illustrations of charts and data sets, and maps of the research area.
