The National Orphan Train Complex’s annual Celebration of Orphan Train Riders is not to be missed! For three days in June, Orphan Train Rider descendants, genealogists, and history enthusiasts gather in the town of Concordia, Kansas to celebrate and remember the children who rode the orphan trains. Presentations from the National Orphan Train Complex staff, special guest author Andrea Warren, and keynote speaker New York Children’s Aid Society archivist Paul Clarke are highlights of the event. Plus, new Orphan Train Rider statue plaques and window coverings will be revealed, the DAR will make a presentation, descendants of Orphan Train Riders will share stories, and a special movie will be shown at the movie theatre Friday night. All this excitement will create an appetite, but not to worry… a catered reception and a banquet lunch are both included in the ticket price!
