  • It is an amazing place that is preserving the history of the wonderful folks that settled the land before us. I absolutely love seeing the architecture and reading the plaques and learning more. The gift shop employees were outstanding and helpful and knowledgeable with any questions.
  • The history learned from a place like this is not typically taught in public run schools. Who would know that orphan children were transferred from NY to LA? I really enjoyed all the village had to offer and even had one of the old steam engines there that pulled the old orphan trains.
