A Journey Into the Past

From a newly found Ackerman cousin came the challenge I am sharing with you now. The first request was to examine our local telephone directory and locate a street by the name of "Ackerment". After completing the first task I went off and gathered my little research buddy, Zachre. In the car we jumped and headed toward the east side. We located the street

From here we ventured down but a block and a half to where we found another part of our treasure. Before us stood a very old building. This fine looking stone building was not ordinary building; it was the Ackermant (Ackerman) family church which stood on the family farm.

This land was purchased by the city of Waterloo, from George Ackermant. It was
at that time the city chose to name a street after his family. In the next couple of sites you will find some of the images I captured with my camcorder.

But we are not done with our journey as of yet either.

Now it is time to journey on. If you notice in one of the above photos, there is an alley for which we were told to travel down. We were however, not to notice that it appears to be a dead end.

If you would like to see what we found tap the angels on the shoulder.
