American Girl Doll Day

The museum held its first American Girl Doll Day this past Saturday. Over 40 girls brought in their dolls and spent the afternoon making crafts related to life on the Home Front during WWII. Everyone had fun as even moms, dads, and grandmas got in on the action. You can look forward to another American Girl Doll event next year. To accomodate everyone who wants to participate we will be splitting the event up into a morning and afternoon session.
We held a drawing to win a Molly doll, doll clothes and accessories. These are the lucky winners! Some of the dolls in the photograph are modeling their new clothes.


Cynthia Lambright kindly donated handmade doll clothes that the girls each had a chance to win at the end of the program. She also made up packages of mini hairs ties for each of the girls to take home.
The girls were busy decorating their cups for their Victory Garden.

Some of the group working on their crafts.

The girls made red cross pins for their doll and then had their pictures taken together. The pictures were placed in a homemade frame that the girls also created.
