Seeking Home: The story of early Black settler Levi Carroll

Few are aware of the log house’s dual history in Waterloo Park or the fact that it was in Waterloo, moved to Berlin (Kitchener), and then moved back to Waterloo. Many have only known it as Ontario's earliest schoolhouse. However, these walls have more of a story to tell, and local researcher and author Peggy Plet, and the City of Waterloo Museum are eager to share this story with the community. The unassuming log house in Waterloo Park, once nestled in Berlin (Kitchener), is the backdrop for the remarkable story of Levi Carroll and his family. The Seeking Home exhibit is now available to rent. For more information please contact: matzeliger@outlook.com.
