Historic Tidbit
The Geauga County Commissioners meeting in December 1834 was the start of construction for Route 44 when a report was presented on a survey of a dirt road from Ravenna to Painesville, traveling through Auburn, Newbury, Munson, Chardon Township and others.
Workers were paid roughly 25 cents per day, which paid for living expenses while they camped in the woods during construction.
