The National Orphan Train Complex Museum and Research Center will bring a presentation to four New Mexico communities regarding the nearly 250,000 orphans moved from New York City to nearly every state of the union between 1854 and 1929. The presentations will include a music/literary portion, a historical lecture/discussion and a video presentation, inviting audience interaction and engagement to explore the part New Mexico played in the largest child migration in America.Â
