Inscription. Tealtown and Baldwin Roads were once part of an old state road. In 1804, the new state of Ohio appropriated $1,650 for the purpose of making a road to go from Chillicothe through Cincinnati, to the West line of the state. Isaac Anderson, of Cincinnati, was appointed commissioner and surveyor of the road. Thus, it was called “The Anderson State Road.” When opened in 1806, the road was 92 ¾ miles in length and 66 feet wide. The road lost its importance after turn- pikes were built.

Erected 2003 by Clermont County BiCentennial Commission.
