:: Orphan Train

Orphan Train doll This is the doll given to Alice Bullis Ayler, one of the last orphans to ride the rails west in hopes of finding a new and loving home.

As a long time resident of Oklahoma City and a graduate of UCO, Alice has donated her Orphan Train Collection to the University. The exhibit contains artifacts, videos, periodicals, and oral and written histories.

Come see and learn more about her journey and the fascinating history of the Orphan Train Riders as we display the details of this remarkable story.
