The largest children’s migration in U.S. history moved some 250,000 children from crowded eastern cities to foster homes in the rural -Midwest. The “Orphan Trains” made transit between 1854 and 1929, and the archives provide both heart-breaking and heartwarming accounts of children in their new lives. Karen Neubauer, librarian and frequent Learning Center lecturer, shares the unforgettable stories.

The lecture will be immediately followed by lunch. There is no charge for the lecture or lunch, but reservations are required. Call 912-964-5411 by Monday, Dec. 12, to make reservations.
