About Worthington Doll Museum

The Doll Museum, run by the Worthington Historical Society, holds a collection of antique dolls dating from the 1800s and 1900s. Displays cover several groups: parian bisque dolls with unglazed china heads, elegant French fashion models, slim milliner's models used to show new styles, French bebe dolls that reflect childhood toys, and portrait dolls modeled on famous people. American dolls include early pieces made of papier mache, rock maple, and fabric. Visitors can also see tiny dolls and examples made from unusual materials such as rubber, wax, and wood. Visits are self-guided, and the Society asks groups, including Girl Scouts and children's tours, to book ahead by phone or email.
