The trail was one of the major stagecoach routes in the area until the development of the railroad which bypassed Deersville and the ridge route of the trail. The Trail was also known in history as the Williamson’s Trail since Col.

The Buckeye Trail intersects the scenic byway east of Deersville and travels through Deersville toward Clendening Lake. The Buckeye Trail Barn is accessed from the byway at the Beall Road intersection A few years ago the byway was extended from State Route 250 and intersecting at State Route 646 as it progresses north towards Scio, a famous pottery town known worldwide for Scio Pottery, 1933-1986. From there the trail goes onto State Route 646 to New Rumley, birthplace of General George Armstrong Custer.
