🍩 Happy National Donut Day from the Scott County Heritage Center & Museum! 🍩

Did you know that Scott County's love of donuts goes back generations? For decades, fresh-made donuts have been part of local morning routines, family traditions, and community gatherings.

Today, we're celebrating two beloved Scott County donut destinations: Lon's Donut Shop in Scottsburg and Happy Glaze in Austin (formerly known as Best Donut). These local favorites have become part of the fabric of our communities, serving up sweet treats and warm hospitality to residents and visitors alike.

If you're visiting Scott County or exploring the area, be sure to add these hometown gems to your itinerary!
