Old Inn Ledger Reveals 1846 Turnpike Travelers
A Broadway area cashbook from 1846 records dozens of turnpike travelers at an 8 Wayside Inn near New York. It shows prices like 19 cents for dinner and a wedding breakfast for six plus 12 quarts of oats for $1.69, with entries describing each guest from a candy peddler to a phrenologist and a "Gent With Noble Horse." The volume chronicles meals, lodging, hay, oats, beer, and odd charges, hinting at a bustling old stagecoach era and a destination long vanished from the countryside.
