Constructed in the mid-19th century, the toll house served as a vital checkpoint along the Montagu Pass, a crucial route connecting George to the hinterland. Travelers, including farmers, transporters, and postal carts, were required to pay a toll to pass through the pass. The toll house also provided accommodation for the toll keeper and his family, offering a glimpse into the lives of those who lived and worked in this remote location.
Today, The Old Toll House stands as a symbol of resilience and a reminder of the region’s rich heritage. Visitors can explore the toll house, learn about its history, and enjoy the scenic beauty of the surrounding area.
