Ohio State Route 716
State Route 716 (SR 716, OH 716) is a state highway in the western part of the U.S. state of Ohio. Its southern terminus is at State Route 705 in the village of Osgood in northeastern Darke County. The northern terminus of State Route 716 is at State Route 274 in the village of Chickasaw in southeastern Mercer County. For its entire length, State Route 716 runs parallel to, and approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) to the east of, U.S. Route 127.
The highway was assigned in 1937 on a routing from State Route 705 in Osgood to an unnumbered highway in Franklin Township. The route was truncated to its current northern terminus in 1973. State Route 716 has remained intact ever since.

“This fair homestead has fallen to us, and how little have we done to improve it, how little have we cleared and hedged and ditched! We are too inclined to go hence to a “better land,” without lifting a finger, as our farmers are moving to the Ohio soil; but would it not be more heroic and faithful to till and redeem this New England soil of the world?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The judiciary has fallen to a very low state in this country. I think your part of the country has suffered especially. The federal judges of the South are a disgrace to any country, and I’ll be damned if I put any man on the bench of whose character and ability there is the least doubt.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
