'''State Route 306''' ('''SR 306''') is a north&ndash;south state highway in northeastern [[Ohio]], running from its southern terminus at [[Ohio State Route 43|SR 43]] in [[Aurora, Ohio|Aurora]] to its northern terminus at [[Ohio State Route 283|SR 283]] in [[Mentor, Ohio|Mentor]]. Most of the road from Aurora north to [[Kirtland, Ohio|Kirtland]] is part of the former [[Chillicothe Turnpike]] and is known as Chillicothe Road. The [[Kirtland Temple]], the first temple built by the [[Latter Day Saint movement]] (Mormons), is located on Route 306 in central Kirtland.<ref>{{google maps |url=http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Kirtland+Temple&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=31.371289,42.363281&ie=UTF8&ll=41.625372,-81.362407&spn=0.006833,0.010343&z=16 |title= Kirtland Temple |accessdate=28 February 2009}}</ref>
