Orphan Train Riders April 13, 2019
What was an Orphan Train? Who rode them? Why were they used? When did it all start and when did it end? Dan Bean will answer these questions and others as he reviews how he became a Vermonter because of one such train. The discussion will also cover other OTR descendants and their fates. If you have never heard of these trains come and learn about a fascinating bit of our past. Classes at the Vermont Genealogy Library are $10.00 and run from 10:30 to noon. The library is located on Hegeman Ave, Fort Ethan Allen, Colchester. Parking and entrance are across from the State Police. Visit our website www.vtgenlib.orgor call 802-350-1333 for more details.

The Vermont Genealogy Library will be closed on Saturday, April 20th for the Easter weekend.
