The Marquette Regional History Center presents: Taking Care of Our Own—featuring Marquette’s Holy Family Orphanage
Wednesday, October 7—7 p.m. at MRHC
Beginning in the 1870s, the disabled, disadvantaged and orphaned of the Marquette area were cared for at the Poor Farm (later Brookridge), St. Joseph’s Orphan Asylum, and then the Holy Family Orphanage. Hear from those who lived in the orphanage and uncover the mysteries of the abandoned building. Do you have an orphanage story? Come and share in the discussion. $5 suggested donation.
