Cornhusk Doll, 1890-1900
01
Artifact Overview
Cornhusk dolls were popular as everyday playthings for children in rural America into the late 1800s. This doll is a little different. Dressed in the fashions of the 1890s, it may have been made by a milliner (a woman who created women's hats) as a giveaway for customers.
