Tollkeeper's Cottage

Cookie Day is back! A unique, socially distanced Cookie Day will be held this Sunday, Dec. 13th. Hours are 1pm to 5pm. Cookies will be sold in bags for $5 (cash only). Supplies will be very limited!

Due to the Coronavirus crisis, we are now extending the closure of @tollcottage until early June. All events until then will be cancelled. Our plan is to re-open on Saturday June 6 at 11:00. However, as it is a fluid situation, this as a tentative date. Thanks, and stay safe

In order to help protect the safety of our staff and visitors from the COVID-19 virus, the Tollkeeper's Cottage will be closed until April 5. The Talk for this Thursday March 19, Nancy Montgomery and the Richmond Hill Murders with David Raymont, is cancelled.

Just a reminder that our St. Patrick's Day Irish Tea scheduled for Saturday March 14th has been canceled. The Cottage will be open as usual for tours, which are usually conducted individually or in groups of two or three. Thanks for your understanding!
