in 1809. This historic document is hand signed by the Company’s President and Treasurer and is

The Centre Turnpike Road was constructed from Callowhill street in Reading, over the longhill (at cemetery) to the mouth of the Maiden creek, and thence northwardly by way of Hamburg and Schuylkill Gap; and northwestwardly over Broad Mountain, by way of a point now Ashland, to Sunbury. The Centre Turnpike Company was incorporated in 1805 to build this road.
The turnpike was completed shortly before 1812. It was operated successfully and tolls were exacted until 1855, when it was abandoned.
