    This is a unique experience, highly recommended! The museum is well organized and one could sense the love and work which went into having such a lovely and educational display of hundreds of dolls as old as 1840! In addition, there is a display of trains charming enough for kids and adults alike! The pics speak for themselves! Ideal for kids!

    I love visiting niche attractions, and this is definitely one! The $5 admission fee was money well spent for the sizeable exhibits and friendly hospitality of the owner. My wife enjoyed the doll displays (I admit, there was some curiosity on my part too). I enjoyed the G.I. Joes & huge Hot Wheels collection... brings back fond memories.

    This was a great visit which my friend and I found incredibly fun as we both grew up in a time when dolls were less commercialized and more artwork. The guide let us browse the museum ourselves and just answered any questions. It was incredibly reasonably priced and I would definitely consider this a hidden gem that most people are unaware of in their own backyard.

    A second generation doll enthusiast run museum. While not large, a good variety of well chosen dolls representing a good range of themes. Cheaply priced and we'll worth the price. Dolls and doll clothes are available for sale at very affordable prices. A hospitably run venue that boys will enjoy for the train assembly.

    This place is the coolest. Each room is it's own exhibit, carefully curated and crafted by the owner and her family to fit a specific theme. It's a must see if you enjoy kitsch and slightly spooky things. Also, the owner is a really nice lady who is happy to answer your questions.

    Don't visit if you are afraid of dolls! There are some amazing things to see here. The most interesting to me was the first Barbie doll. You could understand why the changed her face. The museum is set up with each exhibit set in a different room; living room, kitchen, etc. The furniture in the bedroom is museum quality 19th century. Finally the museum ends in the action figure, GI Joe section, (they are NOT dolls). The icing on the cake is the electric train layout and the Italian made Harley. Definitely worth the price of admission.

    Museum was listed as being open but was closed when we arrived at 11:30 on a Saturday, very sad :(

    We really enjoyed our visit, little local museum with a great variety of well chosen dolls. Different themes, plenty of vintage dolls and dolls clothes, some of them are available for sale, prices are considerable. Nice place for a family visit, suitable for junior kids.

👍👍 A beautiful sacred space, blocks from the Capital. I’ve been to two daily Masses here, and have very much felt at home. The windows are beautiful. The space is also very handicap accessible. A ramp on the left side (looking at the Cathedral from outside) goes into the church. Ample space and a ramp...
