Often said to be one of the most picturesque sites in Maryland, the National Road cuts through the Narrows in La Vale, MD. The seven sides Toll Gate House was the first tollgate house on the Old National (Cumberland Road). Ideal for some ‘history on the go’ the tollhouse is a great piece of American transport history. While in La Vale, try a piece of pie from D’Atri’s restaurant, this wonderful family owned business sure knows how to make comfort food.
