Falls City Library and Arts Center
(KLZA)-- The Falls City Library And Arts Center will host Heather Bigwood, curator of the National Orphan Train Complex, Thursday, February 27, beginning at 5:30 p.m.
Her presentation is entitled “Orphan Train Journeys to Nebraska.”
The public is invited to come listen and learn and possibly share their own orphan train stories.
The Orphan Train Movement lasted from 1854 to 1929 and placed in families an estimated 250,000 children in its seventy-five years of operation.
Nebraska was one of the top eight states to receive the most children from the orphan trains.
The program is supported by a grant from the Nebraska State Historical Society Foundation.
