A previous intern had started a new program describing and showing images of Mamie and Carroll Ward's fashion choices in the early 20th century. I completed this "trunk show" by adding an activity at the end of it- paper dolls.
Several weeks ago a group of kids from a local church came by for a few hours at the museum. I introduced them to Carroll and Mamie and showed them the photographs of them in their fabulous clothes. Afterwards they took a tour of the first floor of the house and then came back to the Visitor's Center and cut out their paper dolls. They loved it! Many of the kids even took home extra dolls to cut out and play with at home.
