I noticed we have a new member that has chosen this as a nickname. Made me think of a home that was for "wayward" girls (might have been just displaced girls even) back in the 70's. I think it was the girls' equivalent to Weirdale. Anyone else remember this?

I dont remember a Tara Hall but I do remember a home for girls called Marion Hall. One of my cousins was put in there. I hope you find more on Tara Hall
ReplyDeleteThanks, that does sound right. Maybe I was a bit confused. Although I'm pretty sure it wasn't because of "Gone with the Wind". I've never seen the movie or read the book.
ReplyDeleteHi ! Maggie Tara was the name of the plantation in "Gone With The Wind"
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Silver & Maggie!
ReplyDeleteI like Silveronly remember Tara Hall from Gone with the Wind, and Sis
don't say it is because I'm older because there is only one year between us.
The Girls Home I recall was the one beside the Fire Station and that was
called the "Teen Haven".

Tina; I remember a Teen Haven that was run by Pastor Johnson and his Pentecostal church formerly in Verdun, now in Lasalle. He also used to have a radio program on Sunday evenings called "Ask the Pastor" My Mom's best friends family, the Mugfords used to go to this Church. Ralph.
