National Toy & Miniature Museum- Architectural Dollhouses
By the time I visited the architectural dollhouse

No interior lighting, so these are a
little blurry, (hard to keep my hand steady)
but, I hope you will enjoy the peek anyway.
building the double sided Twin Manors, a Georgian
Colonial circa 1790. The attention to authenticity
and detail is absolutely jaw dropping, right down
to the microscopic door latches that can be locked
with a tiny key.
A few of the 13 spectacular rooms.
If you would like to learn more about
Twin Manors, click these links from
the Toy & Miniature Blog....it's amazing.

The House That Abe Built is an authentic
replica of Abraham Lincoln's boyhood home.
I admit, this is my favorite. Even though it
appears simple, the attention to detail
is perfection.
Again, no lighting, impossible to get an
interior photo. Here are a few from the
Toy & Miniature Museum's blog with links.
