| Virtual Tour of Morgan-Dowell Research Center |
| The entranceway features two stained-glass art pieces. The artist is Robin Isaacson from Concordia, Kansas. They were donated by Bobby & Wanda Morgan in memory of Darrell Dowell, and Robin Isaacson and her husband John. |
| The Wright-Peck Research Room features a small library of books related to information on the Orphans Trains, New York City, genealogical research, and more. This room can be used to perform research on a particular Orphan Train Rider, or as a meeting space. |
The gift shop has a variety of books on the Orphan
Trains, NOTC and OTHSA items, and local artist Ines
