Why Carroll Exists
This picture, better than any others, explains why Carroll exists!
It is a picture of the State Canal Boat, the Dick Gorham, that was docked in Carroll. The picture was taken from just off the southeast corner of the town square. Someone wrote 'Ohio Canal' across the bottom of the photo, but actually the boat is on the Hocking Canal about fifty yards from where the Hocking joined the Ohio Canal. The juncture of these two canals is the very reason for Carroll's existence.
You can see the large building with the tall chimneys in the background on the right that was the location of various merchants over the years and still stands today. Over the boat cabin on the right you can see the early Methodist Church with its Gothic Revival windows, and it is believed that the house in the background that can be made out between the angled struts on the left was the home of Andrew Saylor.
