Why it belongs
Dollhouse and social-history museum, immersive miniature town, fantasy exhibit, specialist hobby shop, architectural-component store, artisan miniatures gallery, vintage miniatures dealer, and bargain-parts source.
The destination lets visitors study an entire miniature society and then shop the practical components, furnishings and artist-made objects used to build tiny worlds of their own.
The Great American Dollhouse Museum presents more than 200 dollhouses, miniature buildings and room boxes as a detailed journey through American social history and fantasy. In the same building, its Miniatures Store fills the spacious lobby with furniture, dolls, electrical and lighting fixtures, wallpaper, flooring, doors, windows, stairs, trim, kits, houses, rugs, plants, kitchenware, artisan work, vintage pieces and low-cost bargain drawers. The museum and shop operate as one destination, but visitors may browse the brick-and-mortar store without paying museum admission.
