Come visit the oldest toll house surviving anywhere in Canada, when roads were muddy and farmers paid to go downtown amid great hardship to market. See how one tollkeeeper‘s family lived, up to nine people, crowded, without electricity or running water. Examine their tools, their cookware, their clothing and bedding as our volunteer staff take you on a tour back in time to mid nineteenth century Toronto. View the huge, rough hewn planks that came from a single giant pine tree, a testament to the ancient forests of that time. Look out from here, as they would have, at one of the oldest roads in North America, a vestige of the last ice age, Gete Onigaming.
