This book chronicles the famous 'Maple Leaf Route' that ran through Geauga County between 1899 & 1925. From steam rail to the Cleveland & Eastern and Chagrin Falls interurban railways, this concise historical book brings to life one of Northeast, Ohio's favorite pastimes. Readers will enjoy a fun, intriguing and picturesque journey, as the author chronicles the building of the railroad.

Adventures await you on a fun day trip on the 'Wild Flower' or 'Blackberry Pickers' excursion, or join your friends at Bass Lake Resort, Burton Sugar Camp, Chesterland Caves Resort, Geauga County Fair, or a dozen other beautiful Geauga County locations. This is your ticket to travel back to the early days of rail and experience life in Northeast, Ohio as it once was.
