While not an orphan, the Haskell Free Library and Opera House<http://www.atlasobscura.com/places/haskell-free-library-and-opera-house> is an interesting border case.

Hello,

Illinois also has one, and it turns out that it was Illinois' first state capital -- Kaskaskia, Illinois.It can only be reached by driving into Missouri. The channel of the Mississippi River changed after floods in the 1880s, and the town ended up stranded west of the river.
