You might contact a museum in eastern Ohio that focuses on the old National
Road. I forget the official title of the museum, but look in the AAM Museum
Directory. It may be in Zanesville?? Someone else may remember the right
name. There were toll houses on the national road, of course, so they may
have what you are looking for.
