Update to The American Doll and Toy Museum Move

Update to The American Doll and Toy Museum Move: Hi, everyone! Hope you are safe and well. Our move progresses, and our new address is 3059 30^th Street, Rock Island, IL, 61201.

The Museum is not yet open to the public. We hope to be open late this year or early 2021, pending any Covid 19 rules or restrictions. As far as we know, masks will be required when we do open. We will sanitize frequently, of course, and have hand sanitizer. We are handicap accessible. We are a 5021© nonprofit and we do accept donations. We are tax deductible. In fact, monetary donations are much appreciated to help us keep up the building and grounds. Grants have been few, far, and not much due to Covid 19.

We thank Karen Holleran, Nancy McCray, Diane Roche, Lucille Christopher and Ken Stineman for recent contributions of funds, amazing dolls and toys! Our wishlist, a work in progress is below. We also thank everyone who has contributed to us in the last year. We will have a list of friends of the museum for display.

There will be a small gift shop on the museum premises; all proceeds go to the museum. We have books, craft items, figurines, museum logo merchandise, vintage paper airplanes, vintage doll, seasonal items, and much more.

We will be charging a reasonable admission, to be determined when we open so we can keep the lights on. Thank you in advance.

Our Etsy store, Dr. Es Toy Museum is now closed. We will reopen at a later date, but must concentrate on moving our books, toys, dolls, miniatures, collectibles, doll houses, paper dolls and ephemera, scale models, plush, bears, scooters, toy cars, paper airplanes, and more.

Below is our Wishlist. Thank you to all who have donated dolls and funds to us. We have a GoFund Me page, and various social media sites including our Facebook Page, American Doll and Toy Museum, and our blog, American Doll and Toy Museum. We’re on Twitter as Antique Doll and Dr. E’s Doll Museum, on Flickr as Ellen Tsagaris, and Instagram as ellen_tsagaris. We also have other blogs including Dr. E’s Doll Museum, also in Spanish and Greek, and The International Doll Museum Blog. Google us for more. We often share among our other blogs as well.
