This was Grace Ranniger’s Dollyville, which she called “The Best Little Dollhouse in Iowa” on a big sign out front. She started collecting dolls years ago in Ventura, CA, and then moved her collection to Jefferson in 1992. Seeking a larger home, she moved again to the Marchant/Henderson House in Scranton in 1994. She lived in the home along with all her 3000+ dolls. It was open for visitors by appointment and tour busses brought many to the house. She was my mother and she passed away in February at 92. We are going to sell the whole “doll museum” at auction if possible.
