Visitors to the Lee-Fendall House, a beautifully restored Victorian house museum in Alexandria, Virginia, are treated to a wonderful surprise in the form of a small but diverse collection of dolls, doll furniture and accessories, and dolls houses. While the collection is not as extensive as one found at a toy museum, it concisely represents the full range of:

Dolls
• Origin of Dolls
  
• China Dolls
  
• Bisque Dolls
  
• Papier-Mâché and Composition Dolls
  
• Rag and Stuffed Dolls
Doll Furniture and Accessories
Doll Houses
• First Appearence
  
• 19th Century
  
• 20th Century
  

The Lee-Fendall House is privileged to own this charming collection of dolls, doll furniture and dolls houses. As a house museum which educates the public about domestic life in the Victorian period, the Lee-Fendall House is a most fitting repository for these delightful toys which amused and entertained children of a past era.
