We will be in Ohio in mid-Oct., staying at The Wilds one night and then driving to Wooster (and on to Cuyahoga Valley NP the following day). We would like to take Rt. 39 through Walnut Creek, Berlin, and Millersburg, but I'm not sure of the best way to get there. Zanesville, then up to Millersburg, then 39 to I-77 and back off at Strasburg (is that Rt. 250?) to Wooster? Up I-77 to 39? I estimate we will have 6 to 8 hrs. to drive, stop in towns, admire the landscape, and have lunch; we'd like to spend as much time as possible in the most scenic areas. Not sure if the roads south of Millersburg are as interesting as zooming up the Interstate quickly and then the meandering roads (perhaps smaller ones) north of 39. Also have no idea how long it might take to get around - and to Wooster - in a more leisurely manner than the very direct AAA route.
The Wilds to Wooster - need scenic driving route

We were just there, for DH's family reunion. On the last day, we took a leisurely route from Streetsboro (Kent) down through Kidron, Berlin, and Millersburg on our way to Columbus airport.
It's DH's home territory, so I'll have to look up the exact routing. I don't think we were on an interstate at any point.. But here are some ideas:
- Eat at Mrs. Yoder's Kitchen in Mt. Hope. Actually, it's listed as Millersburg, 5 miles from Berlin. But the directions we were given (by an Amish lady at a furniture store where we commissioned some furniture) was Mt. Hope. http://www.mrsyoderskitchen.com/
- Close by, go to Heini's and pick up some cheese. It's a few miles away, in Bunker Hill. As far as I can tell, that's just a designation for an area... We brought home a cooler full, mainly Baby Swiss. Tonight we had a wonderful cheese fondue made from said Baby Swiss and Gruyere, both from Heinis. Go there after lunch so you can rein in your impulse buying... http://www.heinis.com/
- In Kidron, set aside an hour for Lehman's Hardware. It's huge, don't be fooled. Every visit has seen me leave with armloads of neat stuff. http://www.lehmans.com/
- The auction is on Thursdays in Kidron, if you will be there at that time. All the Amish community brings in livestock to auction then, and there is SO much to see. It's right there by Lehman's. http://kidronauction.com/
We go to the Wooster, Ohio Area every few years and I agree with sludick's recommendations. We go back to all of the places mentioned over and over. We have been to Kidron on auction day and it really is a great day to be there. We also take back roads all over the area. Have fun.
