The Orphan Train Movement was the largest mass migration of children in American History. It lasted from 1854 to 1929 and it is estimated that over 250,000 children were moved from orphanages in New York City to rural areas in the United States. This presentation is an informative history of the Orphan Train Movement on a personal level.
