点评:Located on Le Vieux Village property, this museum outlines the children who were brought down from New York as there were so many who were born to unwed mothers, parents who could not afford to keep their children for one reason or another and they were getting crowded at the asylums. The sisters at the Catholic Church set up homes for the children, not as an adoption officially, but with homes that would treat them as their own and then checked in annually to ensure they were being treated properly, which for the late 1800s and early 1900s is an amazing thing. No pictures are allowed to be taken inside due to the privacy of the families and the stigma of taking in orphans at that time. The lady working was full of information and gave a lot of information about the children involved and what happened as they grew up. This is only one city of many that children were brought to. To see the clothing and hear the stories was just amazing. I highly recommend this to anyone in the area.
翻译:这座博物馆位于老村的地产上,概述了从纽约带下来的孩子们,因为有很多孩子是未婚母亲所生的,父母因为某种原因无力抚养孩子,而且他们变得拥挤在收容所。天主教会的修女们为孩子们设立了家庭,不是作为正式收养,而是将他们视为自己的孩子,然后每年检查以确保他们得到适当的对待,这在 1800 年代末和 1900 年代初是这样的是一件了不起的事情。由于家庭的隐私以及当时收养孤儿的耻辱,内部不允许拍照。那位工作的女士提供了很多信息,并提供了很多有关所涉及的孩子以及他们成长过程中发生的事情的信息。这只是儿童被带到的众多城市之一。看到衣服并听到故事真是太棒了。我强烈推荐这个给该地区的任何人。
