COMMENTS:
From Ottawa, take US 59 south to Richmond and go east on Butler road until you reach Ohio terrace. It was on the southwest corner of the intersection. REMAINS: Farm, cemetery and several old buildings |
| Ohio Terrace was the main street of Berea, a settlement established in 1857 by the Associated Reformed Presbyterians, who moved to Richmond in 1884 with the coming of the railroad. The earliest gravestone in Berea Cemetery dates to 1857. .1 mile from Berea is the Cunningham farm complex (private property). Preempted in 1857, this farm is on both sides of the road and has been continuously owned and operated by the Cunningham family for four generations. Note several of the old buildings.
