About the event

Lifelong Learning Presents: Peggy Goertzen
Peggy Goertzen will be speaking at Parkside's Lifelong Learning on December 8, at 10AM, at the Apartments, 1 Park Avenue, Hillsboro. In November Marcia Sebree spoke of the Orphan Train and the many children that came to Marion County in the late 1800’s. Peggy will share of another movement in Marion County to care for homeless children during that time.
In March 1889 the orphan’s home at Gnadenau was founded, two-and-a-half miles southeast of Hillsboro, with Amanda Dohner as its first matron. The first orphans arrived in November 1889 -- seven children from Chicago. The orphanage was officially chartered by the state of Kansas on September 15, 1890, as “The Industrial School and Hygienic Home for Friendless Persons Association.”
The public is invited!
