Interesting question! If I understand this right, you are looking for published material to start an OD&D campaign. I think most of us create custom stuff to begin, so your case is an interesting thought experiment.
I think I might start with a mash up of Supplement II and TSR Temple of the Frog - as your starting setting. Frogtown is very flavorful and you can have all kinds of things happen to players who are there. Have them g on adventure in the swam, for example. MMRPG Episode 7 DAB – AI01 Swamp Flies by Christopher Reed is an option.
You could also tie in Garbage Pits of Despair, but that's tough for first level characters.
As for converting to OD&D, All you need is AC and HP and for 3.0+ material you basically cut the HP in half.
