The Davenport Home
The Davenport Home for Orphan Girls was
opened in 1864 and was demolished in 1958. It's purpose was to support, educate and care
for otherwise homeless girls in a happy comfortable surroundings and to help them face the
world unhandicapped when they were of age.
Each year the first Sunday in August a reunion is held at Mossy Bank Park in Bath, New
York. If anyone lived in the home or knows someone who did, send a note to either of us as
we would be interested in where they are or what happen to them.
