We like how these high school students think! Give them a week to create an entire production from nothing and they come up with CHOCOLATE? Oh yeah, we approve! 7pm TONIGHT at the Brown Grand Theatre.

Celebrate “America 250” with our 26th President of the United States!

Fun Fact: the Roosevelt’s were major donors and supporters of the Children’s Aid Society and the Orphan Train Movement.

As Day 2 of National Orphan Train Complex Celebration of Orphan Train Riders is wrapping up for the day, here are a few great things…

🧱 The Whole Wall Mural enjoyed hosting visitors. Several mentioned they had seen the wall but were so grateful for the tour and hearing more about it.

🎻 Statue #56 was unveiled and dedicated this morning in honor of rider Joseph Auer Markway. Some of his descendants were in attendance at the unveiling. Greg Markway, descendant, is Vice President of the National Orphan Train Board.

🗣️ Curator, Aaron Morgan gave a fascinating presentation on Renowned Riders and their Contributions to the United States. And the beloved Descendants Speak portion where we hear stories about riders from their loved one’s hearts. It’s always touch to hear them tell the stories from their personal experiences.

🇺🇸 Tonight Teddy Roosevelt will put on a show at Cook Theatre at Cloud County Community College at 7 pm. Tickets are $10 at the door.
