National Orphan Train Complex

The National Orphan Train Complex is dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of the history of orphan trains and their impact on the children and families involved. The organization offers a range of educational materials and aids designed to support both formal and informal education settings, including: - Historical resources and exhibits that offer insights into the orphan trains. - Educational aids such as puzzles and crosswords related to the orphan train history (e.g. "A Family Apart" and "Orphan Train Maze"). - Genealogical research resources to support personal family history projects. These resources are beneficial for homeschooling environments as they provide unique historical perspectives and educational activities that can supplement traditional curricula.
