Q:
My husbands grandmother came to Illinois on the Orphan train and was taken by a family. We know their name and would there be any other information that we might get in regards to who her parents were and where she may have been born? Her name was Mary Corliss Brinkman and some information that we have been able to find says that she was taken to be their maid and was never adopted by the Brinkmans but that was the name she gave when she got married. We plan on visiting soon and were wondering what information we might be able to get or give.
A:
I don't know that answer but I do know who to ask. Contact Lori Halfhide, head researcher at the museum. She will know their capabilities.

Hi Susan, I do not recall mentioning it is not handicap accessible. You might want to phone them. 785- 243-4471 but I do not think it would be a problem. Trying to recollect, I think the doors are regular size but the two end rooms are big. The middle room where the binders are placed is on the smaller size. Hope that helps.
