from page 160 of the 1976 Hendricks County History:
Concerning the State Road (now U. S. 136) running from Indianapolis to Crawfordsville: "George L. Leak wrote that he had heard an old citizen, Able Strickland, say that he had worked on this road or helped construct it in 1829. It was a 60-foot established State Road, and in the early days there was a Stage Route over it and a telegraph line along the south side of the road which was abandoned prior to the Civil War."
