HISTORY and FUTURE OF ST. JOSEPH"S...
St. Joseph Orphanage closed in the late 1970's and the Day Care shut down in the late 1990's. In 1908, the Benediction Sisters from St. Scholastica Monastery Fort Smith were called back to their motherhouse and the owners of the property announced the proposed sale of the historic place. In 2010, the nonprofit St. Joseph Center of Arkansas signed a 50-year lease and have been working hard ever since to revitalize and restore the property.
