Plymouth Toll House Still Stands in Old Village
Did you know that Plymouth has it's own Toll House that dates back to 1852?
1087 N Mill Street was built in 1852 as a Toll House for the Plymouth Plank Road. In 1850 a group came together and commissioned the construction of the Plymouth Plank road to connect this area directly to Detroit. The location here in Plymouth was Toll Gate #4. The Toll gate keeper actually lived in this home with his family. The original structure was a square and the addition to the left was added years later. In 1872 it was voted to “close down” the Plank Road and it simply became what we know today as Plymouth Road. This toll house originally stood at the corner of Plymouth Rd and Mill Street. In 1951 this home was purchased by the Clinansmith family who relocated it just North to 1087 N Mill Street near Wilcox Rd in order to save it from demolition. Today this home is still inhabited by a member of the Clinansmith family who is proud of its unique history.
