That land is adjacent to the Molly Caren Agriculture Center where the annual Farm Science Review is held."Tom Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13156208787667044304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18396577.post-28589917872932763602012-07-07T21:48:55.814-07:002012-07-07T21:48:55.814-07:00S.Hooker emailed me with the information "The...S.Hooker emailed me with the information "The national road had a marker about 5 miles west of West Jefferson, Ohio [Madison County] on what was route # 40 in late 1940's. Also check The Red Brick Tavern in Layfeyette, Ohio just west on # 40 from the marker. You might be interested in a book on the National Road.
