What an interesting place. Forgotten history preserved. Very sobering. So many children.

What a gem of a museum! This little town hosts the story of almost half a million orphaned immigrant children who were rescued from the city streets to relocation across America. A story for this century.

Plan to spend one hour or an hour and one-half at this interesting bit of child adoption history. There are three buildings that contain exhibits and artifacts including a passenger rail car and a brief documentary on the Orphan Train.

This really is the part of history that wrote a small line in the history that made America. A side not that needs to seen more often.
