The Great American Dollhouse Museum, Danville

Charming and Delightfully Unexpected! I visited the Great American Dollhouse Museum today with my 11 year old son. We had the BEST time! He thought he was going to be bored but he ended up being delighted with all of the details in all of the exhibits as was I! There is a section on American History, a few towns put together with amazing Houses and even a section with Dragons, Trolls and Fairies! I even heard that they will have an 8ft Castle on Display! I can't wait to go back and see it all again so that I can find more details I may have missed the first time! One of the best aspects of the place is that there is a shop where one can buy anything doll house or miniatures related in person! That is so rare!! WORTH the Trip even if you have any kind of interest in hand made things, antiques or miniatures.

My husband and I went to the dollhouse museum because it seemed like a quirky, interesting thing to do(yes, my husband is a really good sport, but we do love opportunities to make fun of things). We ended up spending more than 2 hours scouring the exhibits, taking pictures, and talking about how amazing the dollhouses are. The detail is insane! You will not regret going. Older kids might like it, but it's really not a place for the little ones...they really won't be able to appreciate it, and the exhibits are set up higher than they will be able to see. Make sure to do the scavenger hunt...not easy, but fun. I definitely recommend!
