Toll house over St. Croix River, Hudson, Wisconsin

1 photograph : black and white print ;

Real picture postcard of the toll house, most likely the one over the St. Croix River between Wisconsin and Minnesota. Image shows the toll house, the road it arches over, two cars coming towards viewer, and a figure collecting tolls. U.S. Highway 12 once crossed the St. Croix River on a toll bridge between Wisconsin and Minnesota, which provided revenue for the town. With the construction of Interstate 94, the toll bridge was removed, though the long causeway extending to the former bridge location is now open to the public as a pedestrian walkway.
