Day 4- Enchanted Mansion A Doll Museum - Baton Rouge, LA






After the Rural Life Museum we traveled to the Enchanted Mansion doll Museum.

The Enchanted Mansion was founded in 1994 by Mrs. Rosemary T. Sedberry. She wanted an additon built on her house to properly display her dolls. Instead, She and her husband, Dr. Joseph E. Sedberry Jr. created this beautiful museum so the public could view them as well. Mrs. Sedberry donated approximately 2,000 dolls. Since then, thousands more have been added.


All proceeds go to the TDS Memorial Foundation to benefit the handicapped. The Foundation was created in memorial to Thomas Dixion Sedberry, Dr. Sedberry's philanthropic uncle.

The building was designed to make one feel doll sized. The front of the building appears to be three stories tall when it is only one story. The first room is furnished with a huge dresser and television. After that you pass through a life sized doll house and into the land of the Gazoba fairies to where one will view hundreds of dolls. Then it's on to the White House where Presidents and First Ladies are on display in a large replica of the White House. Next visitors are transported directly into a storybook. Finally, is the antique room. The museum houses dolls from previous centuries all the way back to the 1750s.
