Museum Tentatively to Open December 2019!!

After a lifetime of planning, it has finally happened! more details will follow as the doll drama unfolds, but The American Doll & Toy Museum will open the first week of December! This will be a smaller version of our collection because of space limitations, but there will be representative dolls from prehistory to the present, and a nice selection of doll houses, miniatures, toys and related objects.

Many of you also follow our main doll museum blog, Dr. E's Doll Museum, and you know that I am Dr. E and this is our unofficial name. I started a new Facebook Page called american Doll
In and Toy Museum, and will follow up with a Twitter, Pinterest, and other social media accounts to spread the word. We have also started a GoFundMe Page.

We'll have a small book shop selling doll related objects, vintage paper airplanes, licensed merchandise books, and perhaps some small antiques from the shop behind us.

There will be special events and give a ways. We'll celebrate each season and holiday, too. There will be rotating displays of all kinds.

I plan on have a doll trinket to give to each visitor as a memento.

Many of you have seen the displays of my dolls at various museums. I've collected since age 3, and have been planning this museum since grade school. We will join a small neighbor hood near one of my alma maters called College Hill, which hosts other events and houses several antique stores, a cafe, a hometown bar and grill, a hometown barber shop, sports apparel shop and more. We will be contributing to small business and to our community.

We welcome everyone; we aren't just for doll collectors and dealers, and we hope by embracing the general public, that we will also encourage young collectors.

Below are some of our citizens, and there is a YouTube video with more.
