We’re closing the door on the 2020 Dollhouse Video Tours tonight. Thank you to our generous sponsors and to everyone who watched the tours and supported the MPHS! We hope you enjoyed watching them as much as we enjoyed creating this virtual event.
Don’t box up the furniture yet! Due to popular demand we have extended the Dollhouse Video Tours until February 28. You now have more time to explore all 6 furnished dollhouses. Enjoy the tours! Registration is $10 & supports the Historical Society. bit.ly/3jDp1Q9
We've updated and restocked a limited supply our Hotter Than Mother's Music t-shirts! You can get your one-of-a-kind piece of #localhistory at the Mount Prospect Historical Society website: mtphist.org/shop-2/
What are your favorite memories of visiting this iconic store?
Take a #virtual “walk” during your COVID lockdown through six distinctive furnished #dollhouses from the perspective of the dolls. Access the tours, which were done by the Mount Prospect Historical Society, via mtphist.org for $10 per household through February 15.
Merry Christmas from all of us at the Mount Prospect Historical Society!
