April 13th - Vicksburg - Yesterday's Children Antique Doll and Toy Museum

Imagine my delight when I found that Vicksburg was one of the places Gpa wanted to visit and there was also a DOLL MUSEUM there!!!!! Well, naturally we just had to go there!! While the majority of the museum was filled with dolls that are not of the type I'm interested in, the lady had enough antique bisque headed dolls, both French and German, to make the visit WELL worth while. I got lots and lots of beautiful photos, of which I am just posting a few here.

While I wandered through the shop taking picture after picture, which the museum owner graciously allowed me to do in spite of her "no photographs" policy, Gpa amused himself chatting with the owner.
