Contact Phone Number: 915-351-3588 This program is a must see for all who live in El Paso. This one-hour multi-media presentation tells the story of the 250,000 orphans and unwanted children who were put on trains in New York between 1854 and 1929 and sent all over the United States to be given away. An estimated 1,200 of these children came to Texas, many to El Paso. The presentation is a combination of original music, video and storytelling and is followed by a dramatic recitation from a forthcoming historical novel about the Orphan Trains by Alison Moore. Tweet
