Notes
  • Significance: In 1908, Charles Spruks bought the defunct Delaware Aqueduct for use as a bridge between his lands in Sullivan County and timber customers in Pennsylvania. As a side business, he built a tollhouse to collect fees from local travellers. Successive owners maintained this business for the next seventy years. Until the 1950s, the tollhouse served both as office and residence of those who collected tolls and repaired the bridge. After 1955, it served only as office and tollbooth since most of the subsequent tollkeepers lived in Minisink Ford. In 1979, the toll operation closed. The tollhouse became an interpretive center when it and the bridge were purchased in 1980 by the National Park Service.
