From John Updike - who still maintains a Fairfield, Indiana web site -
lots of memories there of a town now under?Brookville lake.
SR 101 went through the valley but did NOT go into Fairfield. The original highway heading
south from Liberty ends at the fork in the road a mile or so north of the county line. The
road forking to the right is still part of old SR 101 and ends at that little resort
complex at that marina. (The county line marker is still there. I've attached that
picture.)
?
?
The "new" 101 bears to the left there and goes through the valley into town,
past all the entrances to the lakefront.
?
The original highway was built in the early 30s as a part of the old WPA project. Prior to
that, I am told the road from Brookville north was on the west side of the river and went
into Fairfield via the covered bridge, then north through town ... after that ... north to
a place called Shawnee Ford and northward, maybe to Dunlapsville.
?
Like, this is way more information than even I care to remember.
