Antique Dolls exhibit opens

February 4

Event Navigation

The Fred and Addie Drummond Home in Hominy will host an exhibit of antique dolls throughout the month of February.

This annual exhibit showcases a selection of rare and unique dolls dating back to the early 1900s—long before Barbie’s popularity—when bisque, porcelain, and leather were used to form dolls. German-made dolls by Armand Marseille, Kestner, and Koppelsdorf will be featured. Beginning on Wednesday, February 4, and running through Saturday, February 28, this exhibit is sure to delight doll collectors and lovers alike.

In 1905, Fred and Addie built a late Victorian–style home in Hominy. The three-story house features a central square tower, second-floor balcony, and false dormers. The first floor is constructed of native sandstone while the upper floors are frame covered by painted shingles of light and dark green. Light for the house was supplied by a gas-generating unit located in the basement and water from a cistern was distributed by air pressure.

The house was deeded to the Oklahoma Historical Society in 1980 and listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.
