In-kind Donations

Artifacts

The Museum gladly accepts donations of miniatures, dolls and toys.  Do you have a dollhouse that you cannot take care of any more?  Does your family have a collection of miniatures, dolls and toys of cultural or historical significance?  We will be happy to discuss the possibility of finding your treasured items a new home in our collection. 

Criteria for accepting donations:

·        We do not accept duplicates of artifacts we already own.

·        We only accept artifacts that are in excellent condition*

·        We do not pay to have your items shipped to us, nor do we, in most cases, pick items up from you.

·        We only accept artifacts after discussing them with the donor first.  Do not drop items off without discussing the donation with a Museum staff member.

*At certain times exceptions are made to this rule if an artifact fills a hole in our collection or if an artifact is of particular importance.
