About this event
Did Great Uncle Joe vanish from the census records? He may not have died. He could have moved to an institution! Come and learn about the myriad institutions in the U.S.A. once upon a time. We will look at orphanages and veteran's homes to tuberculosis sanatoriums to prisons. For disability accommodations, call 479.856.7250 or email questions@faylib.org 2-3 weekdays before a program.
