Ferry Rates
On the Georgetown-Lexington Road near Dunksburg, crossing Blackwater River.
In 1868, Noah Bides had a Ferry License. The rates follow:
Man and Horse 25 cents
Two Horses and wagon 50 cents
Four Horses and wagon 75 cents
Horse and buggy 35 cents
One Footman 10 cents
Stock 5 cents per head
These fares were found in the personal belongings of Dunksburg's Dr. Tyler and submitted to the Historical Society by Mary Van Bibber in 1972.
Found today while helping a reporter from The Concordian who was researching the Lowland School (#18). It is in the Grover Township file.
