Cornhusk Doll, 1920-1940
01
Artifact Overview
By 1920, more Americans lived in cities than on farms, and most things were made in factories by machines. People began to appreciate traditional crafts made by hand. During this Craft Revival of the 1920s and 1930s, cornhusk dolls enjoyed renewed popularity. This unusually large cornhusk doll wears a dress and hat that reflect 1920s fashions.
