This meeting's program was presented to us by Deb Martin on the Rag Doll and its history. She told us these dolls are called rag dolls because they were stuffed with rags when being made. Deb and her husband travel the country going to colonial reenactment events where she shows attendees how the dolls are made and their history. She also goes to schools and teaches children about the rag dolls. The dress Deb wore for the presentation was one she made and is appropriate for the time period when these dolls were first made. She shared information about the Shelburne Museum in Shelburne, Vermont where dolls of this type are displayed. This was an excellent presentation. Deb was very informative and interesting to listen to. Thank you, Deb, for coming to present to our group!
