Mooseheart Child City was founded in 1913 and since then, over 12,000 children have received help from the campus. The newest addition to the campus, opening in October of 2011, is the Maternity home located in the once vacant South Carolina house. The home is a intended to be a safe haven for underage mothers who would be on their own otherwise.
