Reviews of Great American Dollhouse Museum (Museum)

A Wilson

This is an absolute must visit for adults with or without children. There is so much to see and something for everyone. We walked through twice and still seen new things. This is a definitely a place we will visit again as both my kids really enjoyed this museum.

Nicole Gray

This place is one of the best places I have been. Very impressed and the owner, Lori is awesome.

Jason Hughes

Adorable museum. Daughter loved it.

Amandalin Ryan

This is one of Danville's most unique attractions! Lori has collected dollhouses and items from all across the country that she displays thoughtfully in this elaborate space. The Dollhouse Museum is a great escape for kids and adults alike. Don't miss it!

Shockingly I never thought this would be appealing to me as a man not interested in dolls, or dollhouses, or miniatures, and yet this was really really impressive. The detail of the work was unbelievable, and the museum had depictions of historical events. It was far from a "kids" museum. Therapists who use miniatures for expressive therapies will find the store an exceptional resource. I highly recommend visiting here if living in the area, driving thru or vacationing; if I had time if I was on my way to another region or something and this was along my drive, I would even recommend stopping for a couple hours and exploring the museum and shop.

Great Day Trip to Danville to check out this Museum. You can see that the Owners have a strong Passion and Devotion to what they exhibit.

Joshua Hay

It could use some upkeep (and a gift shop not just for die hard doll house makers), but it's a fun novelty stop.

Elise Stevens

Donna Sheehy

Different n cute

Yvonne Harrison

If you enjoy history, you need to see this place. If you enjoy miniatures, you need to see this place. If you can appreciate hours of love and work dedicated to a hobby, you need to see this place. You are transferred to dozens of tiny worlds where interesting things are happening. The gift shop is full of wonderful things that you need to take home with you. Go and enjoy!

Dan Grunkemeyer

Myra Clay

this was soooo cool.

Molly Draney

This museum is so enchanting! I visited a few weeks ago with my mom and five-year-old daughter, and we all loved it. The lady who welcomed us was so warm and gracious, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stroll through this amazing place filled with history, surprises, and a touch of magic - a must-see!

E WILLIAMS

This was such a great place to visit. I truly adore miniature dollhouses and made the drive from Chicago to visit the museum. I really enjoyed all displays and fast facts related to the displays.

Todd Cook

Amazing collection of various scales, periods, and genres. Worth a visit. Constantly updated.

Kerri Leggiero

Sarah Rose

James Terrell

Great place to see beautiful dolls

Kylee Standiford

We had a girl's day out at this dollhouse museum! The exhibits were well thought out. My favorites were the historical ones, so I'd love to see more of those. They had a very unique "Neighborhood" layout that was incredible! It took us about 2 hours to make our way all the way through the whole museum. The shop area had a huge selection, and my sister-in-law got a great deal on a dollhouse for my niece. I'd love to go back for an annual girl's day trip!

Shelly Thams

Wasn't sure we would stop here but so glad we did! A hidden gem. An amazing display and very creative. Well done!

Tonya Foster

It is a wonderful adventure both informative and whimsical!

Tammy Mitchell

Loved it, so much to see,

Megan Berketis

I brought my two boys (6 and 8) here over Spring Break to get them out of the house for a little. They loved it! The set up, with road signs and themes, was intriguing for them. What I thought would be about a half hour, turned into a two hour excursion. The owner was very friendly and informative. I will definitely be bringing our out of town guests here for a fun afternoon outing. I would suggest this museum for school aged children of any age/sex. We were inspired to start creating our own miniature at home, and we'll definitely be purchasing our miniature decor from their gift shop!

Every Woman

I love this museum! It is so much better than I had ever imagined. The historical value alone makes it a worthwhile trip.

Jen Nofziger

Amazing! There is so much to see here. Has a great layout to stroll through and lots to learn. Just so charming and delightful! Could easily spend hours. The store has everything one could possibly need or want.

russell caseman

A nice place to take the kids or just go by yourself. Take as long as you want to walk through and see everything. A lot of details and things to see. A little giftshop/store also to buy anything you might need for your own dollhouse build. They do provide a military discount which is much appreciated.

Astrid Wenke-Sebastian

Delightful! Charming! Intricate! Amazing! This museum is a gem! I was pleasantly surprised, had no idea this even existed in Danville. I can highly recommend it, and if you are interested in creating your own - they have thousands of miniatures to pick from at very reasonable prices, no kidding. It took the owners many years to just break even, they really just know have begun to actually make a bit of money from it. Great experience, bring your kids! Support your local businesses!

Sav Robinson

It was beautiful loved all the historic dolls!

Shayne Knipp

Mary Thomas

Lots to see, friendly people. And dragons, trolls, something for everyone.

High end miniature collections. Well laid out museum. Stunning finds throughout. Children can look without the fear of them being able to touch.

angela creech

My friend and I and her cousin enjoyed our visit the houses were beautiful there are historical facts given and the lady who owns and runs it made us feel so welcome if you love doll houses this is the place to visit

Toni Opeka

So enjoyed the doll house museum. I could go a hundred times and see something new each time. Lori was very pleasant and fun to talk with. Do investigative the shop. Lots of interesting and hard to find items. Very reasonably priced. A wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Great for young and old. Male and female.

John Wilson

A lot of reviewers are recommending this place for fans of miniatures, but I'd also recommend it (perhaps even more so) for people who don't know much about dollhouses. That was me before visiting, and I was astonished by the skill with which these houses (and all the props inside) are built and arranged! I had no idea how every mundane detail of a kitchen pantry, or weathered exterior, is perfectly replicated. And using dollhouses to tell hidden stories of American history is a clever framework for showing off the collection. All genders and ages can get something from this place, all you need is an appreciation for craftsmanship.

Heather Moreton

Charming and Delightfully Unexpected! I visited the Great American Dollhouse Museum today with my 11 year old son. We had the BEST time! He thought he was going to be bored but he ended up being delighted with all of the details in all of the exhibits as was I! There is a section on American History, a few towns put together with amazing Houses and even a section with Dragons, Trolls and Fairies! I even heard that they will have an 8ft Castle on Display! I can't wait to go back and see it all again so that I can find more details I may have missed the first time! One of the best aspects of the place is that there is a shop where one can buy anything doll house or miniatures related in person! That is so rare!! WORTH the Trip even if you have any kind of interest in hand made things, antiques or miniatures.

Emily Jackson

My husband and I went to the dollhouse museum because it seemed like a quirky, interesting thing to do(yes, my husband is a really good sport, but we do love opportunities to make fun of things). We ended up spending more than 2 hours scouring the exhibits, taking pictures, and talking about how amazing the dollhouses are. The detail is insane! You will not regret going. Older kids might like it, but it's really not a place for the little ones...they really won't be able to appreciate it, and the exhibits are set up higher than they will be able to see. Make sure to do the scavenger hunt...not easy, but fun. I definitely recommend!

Teresa M. Arias Arias

Very educational and interesting place! The owner was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be going back! :)

Julie Benedict

So fun and unique museum!

Jo Embert

Lovely place, lots of history built into the displays. It's easy to spend a whole day looking at the little treasures!
