Paradise Doll Museum

A museum built in a house adjoining their own. A retired couple who stocked this museum with roughly 7000 dolls. We spent two hours taking pictures and visiting with the owners. It was delightful and we came away with good pictures.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful pictures Neil. Back in the 1970's and early 80's my family and I lived in Wichita, Ks. A friend and I used to visit a lady in Towanda who sold fabric out of her garage. The fabric was mill ends from a factory that made sports clothing for Sears. She sold the fabric by the pound and it was very cheap! The house in your photo reminds me of the place where my friend and I went, and who knows, maybe it is! Thanks again!! vote

An interesting visit and strong beginning to this gallery. The expressive qualities is amazing for some of these dolls. The "Uh Oh" image which is my favorite is terrific and also humorous. Looking forward to seeing more. V
