History: The Old Tollhouse was built shortly after the completion of Michell's Pass in 1848. From 1 January 1849 toll charges were collected here on animals and vehicles. Since the Michell's Pass opened an easy route to the north and because, when diamonds were subsequently discovered, it was on the main route from the Cape, the tollhouse played an exceptionally important role.
