History

We are privileged to occupy one of the buildings used as an orphanage for Civil War soldiers' children after the war. This is the story of the National Soldiers' Orphans' Homestead.

In 1862, Amos Humiston enlisted in the 154th New York Regiment. A quiet, kind man, he left his family only after their town assured him that his wife and three children would be well looked-after while he was away. By July of 1863, Amos was a sergeant and well-known in his company as a noble, generous, cheerful man who was always quick to do his duty. But above all, he was devoted to his family and always thought of them.
