Where the road flattens out was the once infamous and unofficial Fairgrounds Road Quarter Mile, popular since the advent of the American muscle car.  You may even find remnants of ‘ancient’ start and finish lines, allegedly.

The farms between Beaver Valley Road and Trebein Road belonged to Henry Ankeney and John McCracken as well as those by the Steele, Stine, Dice and Shank families and later including the Coslers.

The beautiful 1854 Henry Ankeney farm at 1828 Fairgrounds Road remains in the family and is still actively farmed today.
