The waterfront property that's home to Burlington's growing Cambrian Rise neighborhood is a lovely spot, with stunning views of sunsets over Lake Champlain. If you visited it today, you might never know about the site's tragic past: From 1854 until 1974, it was home to St. Joseph's Orphanage, which housed 13,000 children during that time. Countless former residents have come forward since to describe physical and sexual abuse they endured at the hands of the nuns and other staff who ran the facility.
