This holiday season, take a step into a world of charm, nostalgia, and creativity at the 10th Annual Wee Christmas Dollhouses & Miniatures Show at Historic Kenmore in Fredericksburg, VA. Running from December 1st to 30th, the exhibit invites visitors to marvel at a captivating collection of meticulously crafted dollhouses and miniatures, each brimming with intricate details and holiday cheer.
Whether you’ve always had a love for dollhouses, are obsessed with miniatures, or just want to see something new, this event offers a magical experience for visitors of all ages. The show is hosted in the Crowninshield Museum at Historic Kenmore, a beautifully restored historic site that sets the perfect backdrop for this enchanting display.
A Magical World of Miniature Delights
The highlight of the Wee Christmas Dollhouses & Miniatures Show is undoubtedly the remarkable collection of replica dollhouses and miniatures. You’ll find a delightful neighborhood of dollhouses, each a small-scale masterpiece that reflects different periods, styles, and settings. Among the most impressive is a highly detailed replica of Kenmore itself, which allows you to see the historic home in miniature form and appreciate its beauty from a whole new perspective.
These dollhouses and miniatures are more than just toys—they are works of art, with every room and detail crafted with precision. This exhibit includes vintage dollhouses that have survived generations of play, and others that have been hand-made just for this display!
Fun Activities for the Whole Family
In addition to the awe-inspiring dollhouses, visitors can also engage in the “iSpy Miniatures” challenge. This interactive activity invites you to search for hidden miniature items throughout the exhibit, making it a fun and educational experience for both kids and adults. It’s the perfect way to get the whole family involved as you work together to spot tiny treasures in the displays.
The show is a wonderful opportunity to share memories of your own dollhouses, whether you grew up with one or have recently discovered the joy of miniature collecting.
