Sadie and Mollie Dolls
Sadie and Mollie Dolls
In 1996, after a painstaking, six-month restoration, the Shriver House Museum opened its doors to tell the story of the Battle of Gettysburg through the eyes of the Shriver family - George, Hettie, Sadie and Mollie. Sadie was seven years old at the time of the battle; Mollie was five. After years of searching for a Civil War style doll with no success and in recognition of our 20th anniversary, the Shriver House Museum is excited to present dolls made in the memory of those two little girls who endured so much.
A ‘daguerreotype’ hang-tag comes attached to each doll with a brief description of the child.
