Canal Mural

A mural on the side of a building at Carroll, Ohio depicts the Ohio-Erie Canal and various buildings of that era some of which might have been built by William Foster Breck, the man who founded Grove City. He built and operated a large grain warehouse, hotel and general store and was Carroll’s first postmaster. William and his wife, Elizabeth, had a home in Fairfield County in 1846. He most likely traveled to Columbus along the Pomeroy Road (Rt. 33 today) then west on the National Road into the capital city.
