The Traveling Exhibit, Mrs. Fisher's Fundraising Efforts

Starting in 1953, Fisher began offering public displays of her dollhouse design. As you can imagine, such a novelty grew in interest, and soon Mrs. Fisher began exhibiting her miniatures to the wider community, partnering with local businesses to display the Dollhouse in various forms, sometimes bringing six rooms in their original design, though most often hauling all eight out with her.

Wilkes College, to no one's surprise, loved the display:

She often appeared at local businesses, such as L.L. Stearns Store, as well as community spaces, like the First Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia. These exhibits are an interesting addition in the scrapbooks, because it demonstrates how Mrs. Fisher built her traveling exhibit up over a decade, the Stearns Store held in 1954, and the First Presbyterian Church bazaar held in 1965, and turned what many consider a quaint hobby into a tool of information and change.
