Led by Jamie Poorman, Head Librarian at Marshall Public Library, this event will shed light on the origins of this movement, the organizations involved, and the profound impact it had on both the children and the communities that welcomed them. Discover the stories of a few orphan train riders and gain insight into their lives and experiences.
This event is a unique opportunity to learn about a lesser-known aspect of American history that touched the lives of an estimated 250,000 children over 75 years. Jamie Poorman, a dedicated genealogist and local historian, brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to this presentation, making it a must-attend for history enthusiasts and those interested in genealogy.
Don’t miss out on this chance to explore a significant piece of American history and gain a deeper understanding of the Orphan Train Movement. Elevate your knowledge and appreciation for the past by joining us at the Vigo County History Center Auditorium on August 9th at 10:30 AM.
