How her smalltime hobby turned into a traveling exhibit tour

It may come as no surprise, then, that Mrs. Fisher’s dollhouse collection started to become the talk of the town. Starting in 1953, Fisher began offering public displays of her intricate dollhouse rooms all across Pennsylvania. She would partner 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.

The collection by Fisher included a number of showings that only seemed to spark others to follow. 

In 1954, there was a listing at the L.L. Stearns Store:

Her miniature rooms also made an appearance at hotels such as Hotel Lewisburger; in November 1955, her dollhouses were an exhibit at the Lewisburg’s Civic Center. The show was a two-day event in the hotel’s lounge from November 18th to 19th, and admission was free to the public. However, a donation card was available, whose funds would go to supplying the club’s health and welfare funds. The exhibit’s fundraising efforts were a success as revealed by one of the congratulatory letters sent to Fisher following the showing in Lewisburg. 

Another boasts of a holiday bizarre featuring Fisher’s display at the First Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia in November of 1965.

Another major event and exhibit Mrs. Fisher held was her showing at her father’s store, The Boston Store. The event was a three-day showing in 1962 held from May 10-12.
