Dollhouse Village
  Dollhouse Scene clear
  Click the map above to see an enlargement. It shows the variety of features in the village.   From the Shaker Settlement to the formal gardens of the Grand Hotel, we have as wide a range of neighborhoods as America itself.  
Every dollhouse is open in back so you can see all the furnishings, people, pets, and decor.
 
             
 
Everyday Interactions and a Few Surprises!
 
  A Cat Knocks Over a Vase   A Dollhouse Letter Exchanged   Girl in Dollhouse Window  
 
"My amethyst compote! BAD KITTY! Who let Finbar out of the kitchen?!”
 
What is in the letter that is being handed off? Perhaps there are clues in the other rooms?
 
Who is that spooky girl looking out from inside? Why can't she come out and play?
 
           
 
People at Work and Play
 
  Dollhouse Mother and Child   Dollhouse Man with Dog   Dollhouse Sandbox  
 
Gabriel “helps” Isabel prepare for dinner hour at the taqueria.
 
The village boys can’t decide whether Old Muldough takes after little Buford or the other way around, but they sit quietly when he spins tales of his army days.
 
Knuckles and Roscoe know Gretchen isn’t allowed past the sandbox, and they enforce Mama’s orders.
 
             
 
Antique and Artisan details intrigue novice and expert alike.
 
  Doll with Crutches   Dollhouse Baby Buggy   Dollhouse Woman Shopping  
 
German Victorian furniture, original tintypes, handmade silk and petit point rugs enrich the parlor of this disabled gentleman.
 
Nicola Cooper, dollmaker, breathes life and emotion into her people. She then dresses them to their individual means and tastes, and, of course, the historical period.
 
Realistic meals grace the village tables. Mrs. Bellamont rarely goes out to choose her own vegetables: perhaps she’s having “special” company for dinner tonight…
 
             
 
Something new on each visit!
 
  Doll with Crutches   Dollhouse Baby Buggy   Dollhouse Woman Shopping  
 
Our village changes over time, so each visit will reveal something new.
 
Abby and Hortense tidy up the Black Forest roombox, but on your next visit...
 
...Knuckles has been left to babysit while Abby gets some lemonade.
