Photographs from the Berea Children's Home

Photographs from the Berea Children's Home, 1864-1959. "...In 1864, the German Methodist Episcopal Church founded the German Methodist Orphan Asylum to shelter Civil War orphans. Known today as the Berea Children's Home, they serve children and youth needing specialized therapeutic programs. These 100 photographs from the Berea Children's Home and Berea Historical Society document the home's first 100 years of caring for neglected, dependent and abandoned children."
