Conceived in the late 1970's by local collectors and artists, the Museum started as a few exhibits that would travel to local schools, libraries and public buildings. After finding our home in a Colorado Historical Society building in 1987, DMMDT began to draw visitors through our fun exhibits and unique collection. The DMMDT stages four major exhibit changes throughout the year and has acquired a collection of over 10,000 items, primarily through generous donations by community members. Our exhibits range from artisan dollhouses to giant teddy bears, exquisite antique dolls to well loved metal cars and toy soldiers.
