Dollhouses - #WordlessWednesday

Every year I pay tribute to Roberta King, who was murdered in a mass shooting at the American Civic Association in Binghamton, New York on April 3, 2009.  She was a collector of dolls and dollhouses that represented Jewish life, and her family generously allows the Hanukkah House museum (open for a month each year in Binghamton, New York) to display some of her dollhouses and dolls.

When someone passes on, what remains are the memories.

A room.

This museum is in what used to be a mansion belonging to a patent medicine maker who became quite wealthy.

Memories of the past.


Join Esha and Natasha each Wednesday for #WordlessWednesday.

  3. They remind me of how much I used to long for doll houses as a child. Never had one, but still love to admire them. So lovely to see these pictures but the story behind is a sad one!
