Vocational school founded by Josiah Henson From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The British-American Institute of Science and Industry was a school started in 1842 by Josiah Henson near Dresden, Canada West, as part of the Dawn Settlement, a community of freedmen and fugitive slaves. The institute was a school for all ages designed to provide a general education and teacher training. For a short period it was a manual labour school. It was taken over by the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society in 1849. The school closed in 1868. Its site is now encompassed by the Josiah Henson Museum of African-Canadian History (formerly Uncle Tom's Cabin Historic Site).[1][2]
