Orphan train artifacts are stored in wooden file cabinets as old as the stories inside. The Jackson County Historical Society Museum in Maquoketa now has a fully organized list of children who made the long trip from the East Coast to the Midwest in the late 1800s and the early 1900s. The museum is a storehouse filled with tales of orphans who were shipped off, mostly from New York, in search of better lives in the Midwest.
