There are few institutions in America that can claim that they have been servicing the needs of indigent children for over 185 years. Yet, Vanderheyden, formerly known as Vanderheyden Hall and before that the Troy Orphan Asylum, has been doing just that. Vanderheyden's rich history of serving the needs of young children goes unmatched in the Capital District of New York.
To celebrate the 185 years of service as an incorporated institution, this book gives a history and overview on the history of orphans in New York and in particular the origins and growth of Vanderheyden and its many services it provides even to this day.
Included in the book is several testimonials from former residents, now adults, of Vanderheyden telling their first hand experiences while living there.
