<p>[QUOTE="furham, post: 24087199, member: 19750"]The history of the Ohio Soldiers and Sailors Orphans Home is amazing. It opened in 1869 shortly after the civil war to house orphans from the war and continued to house orphans from every war until 1995 when it finally closed. At one time it consisted of over 400 acres and was almost completely self sufficient. They had their own farm, church, and school on campus. At one time they housed over 1000 orphans. My wife lived there for 12 years. We spend every 4th of July there for an all school reunion. This is a picture of the Administration Building now housing Athletes in Action.[ATTACH=full]1547332[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
