As we get stories from and about Orphan Train Riders to Iowa, we hope to include those stories here. We have also collected a bit of info on those who brought the children to Iowa.

Here is some of the info we have on the Orphan Train Riders. The information came from census records, families of 'riders', newspaper articles and other reliable sources.

Were these Children Riders?
