The northwest corner of North Fairfield Road and Kemp Road was the location of the Mt. Pisgah German Reformed Church. This building was later used as Sunnyside School, reportedly the second schoolhouse in Beavercreek.. Sunnyside Cemetery still exists north of the intersection and is the final resting place of members of the Cyphers, Goldshot, Harshman, Howett, Koogler, Reiglesperger, Sensenbaugh, Swigert and Trubee families, with the earliest burial being John Helmer in 1823.

The north-central area of the township was a collection of large tract farms, owned by G.B. LaFong, the Koogler, Lantz, Tobias and Harner families amongst others. There were no ‘towns’ in the immediate area, so travels to New Germany, Byron, Zimmerman and Trebein were common.

Not so many years ago, North Fairfield Road was merely a two-lane blacktop dividing farm lands on either side.

North Fairfield Road used to be known as the Bellbrook-Fairfield Pike and continued due north at approximately Cross Creek Court with two 90° bends, the western bend still exists at Old North Fairfield Road behind Heartland - Beavercreek Nursing and Rehabilitation.

'Unconfirmed reports' state that it was indeed possible to roll the tires off the rims of a '65 Mustang and to repeatedly spin-out a '66 Corvette on the S-curves!
