Our Store display part of the biggest collection of nun-dolls in the world. These dolls are unique because each was dressed by the particular order of nun it represents. Unfortunately, many of these convents and religious orders no longer exist. However, these dolls recall the days when the religious orders where vibrant and thriving. This story of this collection has been told in regional and national newspapers through the years. Briefly the story is as follows. This remarkable display of dolls was originally assembled in the 1950's.by Mrs. Laura Deming of Redlands.
