Hoping for a Home: The
Orphan Trains
Between 1854 and 1930, more
than 200,000 children were put
on trains to remove them from the
poverty and debauchery of the
city streets in the east and place
them with morally upright farm
families in the Midwest, including
many in Minnesota. The children
were put on display and chosen
by those willing to take them. The
results were sometimes great and
sometimes horrible. Come learn
about the process and the stories of
the children who went through it,
hoping for a home.

The powerful Mississippi carved

at Kellogg Mall Park to enjoy the
unique bluff views, then walk along
the Wabasha Bridge and descend
to the water’s edge at Raspberry

you’ll learn the secrets and stories
of thousands of years in this place.
