So Long Toll Gate





I know I should be spitting out some sort of history here for you but I won't. The Toll Gate started out back in the 19th century as (wait for it) a toll house. Yes, there was a gate (a toll gate, get it?) and the passing traveler would have to pay a toll to proceed. Years later it was known as the Toll Gate Tavern. And more recently, maybe 10 or 15 years ago they added the new front end on. Once, long ago, I was asked to leave (we, we all were) while celebrating a good friends bachelor party. Anyways, the Toll Gate shut it's doors at the end of 2012 when the owners retired. Next up is a "sports bar", that's all I know.
