Andrew Drumm Institute
Andrew Drumm Institute, Orphanage in Independence, Missouri, US.
The Andrew Drumm Institute spans across 370 acres of land, featuring ten preserved buildings that served as living quarters and educational facilities for boys.
Established in 1929 following the wishes of cattle rancher Andrew Drumm, the institute operated as a working farm to provide education for disadvantaged boys.
The institute incorporated agricultural training and 4-H projects into its educational program, allowing boys to earn money while developing practical skills.
The National Register of Historic Places designation in 2006 ensures the preservation of ten contributing buildings within the historic district.
The transformation from a working farm to a golf course maintained the institute's mission while adapting to modern regulations and economic needs.
