Christmas is coming!
A little snow (maybe a lot of snow), a little chill, and a lot of decorations and lights helping to make the season bright. Last weekend Waseca was alive with visitors for all the activities that were planned to coincide with the Waseca Arts Council’s “Sights and Sounds of Christmas” House Walk! The Waseca County Museum’s "Christmas Night at the Museum, A Doll House Walk" was very well attended and we thank all those visitors from all over for stopping. You came from 45 different Minnesota communities, six states and two foreign countries!
This is a "feel good" exhibit because everyone who strolled amongst the 21 doll houses were having such a good time remembering childhood and sharing with their friends and families. Grandparents were pointing out little furnishings and details to their grandchildren, grown women were commenting, "I feel like a little girl again!" or "I had a doll house like that one!" The best part was the sharing of experiences, and the meaning of those experiences. Many friends came together, many Wasecans were hosting friends and relatives who traveled to Waseca and view this exhibit together.
There is great variety of styles, decorating, and sizes--from a tiny matchbox doll house in the WCHS Collection to the three-story townhouse.
The Doll House Walk is the good thing that is still going on through January 16, during regular museum hours, Tues-Fri, 9-5 and Saturdays, 10-2. Hey, Waseca County community, this is your museum, come see us over the holidays!
What did you enjoy most about the Doll House Walk?
