The Hillsboro Toll Gate House was erected in 1848 by Nashville and Hillsboro Turnkpike Co. Charges to travel macadamized road could not exceed: horse or mule, 3 cents; 10 sheep, 20 cents; 20 meat cattle, 25 cents; carriage drawn by pair of horses or mules, 25 cents. Toll was removed in 1903. The toll gate house, which has been enlarged, still stands and is currently used as a grocery store.
