Dr. Clark decided to donate the dollhouse to Heritage Museum of OC for several reasons. She wanted visitors, especially children, to enjoy and cherish the dollhouse as much as SHE has over the years. She thought, “… it is a natural fit to be at a Heritage Museum since it was part of Mr. Tucker’s Heritage Home Series.” Additionally, every accessory in the dollhouse is a work of art representing dozens of top artisans. The house is currently located in the back parlor of the H.Clay Kellogg home on the museum grounds. Students and children who visit the museum each day on field trips are able to view the dollhouse up close. This provides an additional educational component to their visit relating to Victorian Architecture. They are able to locate certain architectural elements of the home such as the cupola, frieze, column, and finial. Watching students’ and teachers’ faces light up with excitement when they enter the back parlor of the home is heartwarming.

Heritage Museum of Orange County is very grateful for this generous donation from Dr. Janice Clark and hope that she is content with the use of the dollhouse at the museum.

- Kevin Cabrera, Head of Collections/Curator
