THE MAYESVILLE PIKE

The Mayesville Pike was one of the
historic roads of the United States
and extended from Maysville, Ken
lucky, on the Ohio River, to Lexing-
ton, Kentucky. Over this road travel
led many of the pioneers who settled
Kentucky and States further South.
They came not only down the Ohio
River in flatboats landing at Mays
vile, but also travelled along Zanes-
Trace from GAINESVILLE, Ohio, to Alb
erdeen, Ohio, thence across the Ohio
River to Maysville. There is stand
ing within the town limits of Mays
vile an old metal mile post with the
names GAINESVILLE, Ohio; Lexington,
Kentucky; Nashville, Tennessee and
Florence, Alabama, inscribed on 1t.
In 1928 Andrew NJ. January, rode
horseback from Maysville to Lexing-
ton and raised enough money to
have a survey made for a turnpike.
This survey was made and the Mays
vile and Lexington turnpike was
built, the first unacademized road
west of the Allegheny Mountains.
This was a famous road before the
coming of the railroads. Two Presi-
dents of the United States-Andrew
Jackson and James K. Polk-travel-
led over this road to Washington.
