Our History - American Doll and Toy Museum

 


American Doll and Toy Museum was established in 2019.  We moved to our permanent location in 2020.  We opened to the public in 2021.

 

We are a Not for Profit, 501c corporation.  We welcome your financial donations and accept donations of dolls and toys, and other related items.  We have a small gift shop, all proceeds go to the Museum.  The books that our director writes are also sold to profit the museum.

 

We house more than 8000 dolls, toys, models, doll houses, books, puzzles, puppets, and art in our facility, once the 30/31 Rock Island Branch Library, 3059 30th Street, Rock Island, IL.

 

Our artifacts represent prehistory to the present.  Our director has collected since age 3, and with her family, has traveled the world to find museum objects.  Some of our dolls and toys include:

 

Antique French and German Dolls * International Dolls * John Deere Toys * A Doll that once Belonged to Shirley Temple * Asian and Japanese Festival Dolls * Action Figures * Doll Houses * Models * Bru Brevete that belonged to the Daughter of Pres. Rutherford B. Hayes *
