EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the Old Tollgate House near Cumberland, Maryland, USA, built in 1812. The image, estimated to be from circa 1940, showcases the historic tollgate house and its accompanying post, situated six miles west of Cumberland on the National Highway. The Old Tollgate House, a relic of the 1810s, once stood as a significant landmark along the main road, serving as a vital checkpoint for travelers making their way through the picturesque countryside of Maryland. Tollgates like this one were common along early American roads, with tolls collected to maintain the infrastructure and facilitate the growing transportation network. As we examine the photograph, we notice the weathered wood of the tollgate house and the worn tollgate post, both bearing the marks of time and the elements. The National Highway, now a well-traveled thoroughfare, is seen in the background, flanked by telegraph poles and wires – a testament to the evolving communication and transportation technologies of the time. The Old Tollgate House and its post, standing proudly against the backdrop of history, offer a glimpse into the past and the rich heritage of American history. This photograph is an invaluable reminder of the importance of preserving our historical landmarks and the stories they hold, as they continue to shape our understanding of the world around us.
