Between 1854 and 1926, nearly 250,000 orphaned or abandoned children were relocated from New York City to the Midwest and West. This migration is known as the orphan train. The goal of this relocation effort was to find homes where children could learn practical skills, gain an education, and live in a family setting. Kaily Carson, curator of the National Orphan Train Complex, will join us remotely as we learn about how this fascinating movement began, how it worked, and what happened to the children involved. This Brunch and Learn will take place in person. Enjoy a catered breakfast before the presentation.
