LaVale Toll House


 

LAVALE TOLL HOUSE

Description: The LaVale Toll House was built circa 1836 by the Federal government, prior to the road being taken over by the individual states through which it passed. Tolls were collected here until the late 19th century. Maryland’s sole remaining toll house on the federally funded National Road has been restored true to its original character, and surrounded by a small county park. Two iron gateposts thirteen miles west of Cumberland mark the spot where an additional toll house once stood.
