Gore Orphanage

Vermilion, OH

Gore Orphanage is northern Ohio's great invented legend: a haunted road and valley near Vermilion where generations have sought a burned orphanage and its crying children. No orphanage ever burned — the tale fuses a real 1910 house fire with a vanished charity farm — but the telling thrives.
