Скачать или смотреть Levi Carroll & The Log Schoolhouse: Digital Doors Open Waterloo Region 2021 - Episode 7

Levi Carroll is best known for a log schoolhouse built in 1820 which was Waterloo’s first educational institution.

Once the community outgrew the 16x20 schoolhouse, Levi lived in it for more than 50 years.

This important historical structure now rests in Waterloo Park and provides a backdrop for exploring more about Levi – an ex-slave from Maryland who despite the odds lived into his 90s and was described in his 1897 obituary as, “a citizen whom almost everyone knows.”


But that familiarity has been lost to time. Author and social historian Joanna Rickert-Hall is working to resurrect Levi Carroll’s narrative and its ties to other lost local stories and important conversations.
