We welcome donations, especially monetary, because we have to maintain the building and pay utilities. As many of you know, it isn't cheap, and like other small businesses, we have been hit hard by Covid.
All of our proceeds go to maintaining the museum, all items donated to us stay with the museum.
When contacting us about dolls or toys, please think if you are donating (we are a not for profit organization), selling, or wanting appraisals.
I don't by dolls per se because I need to check with our board, and because we need the money for our expenses.
Appraisals are $50 per doll.
We are always happy to accept donations.
The Museum has a gift shop of nice costume jewelry, toys, books, old postcards, doll related items, and toys. Again, all proceeds go to the museum.
Thanks to the many kind folks who have donate to us. If you gave us dolls or toys, they are here safe with us.
We hope to see you soon!

Executive Director
