For one more weekend, Jefferson is home to a Barbie Dream House with a display of more than 1,000 collectible Barbie dolls in their original boxes. This exhibit is divided between two locations: the Sensibly Chic boutique on the downtown square and the nearby Greene County Historical Museum, the proud beneficiary of all exhibit proceeds.
The “Barbie by the Bells” exhibit, near the Mahanay Bell Tower, began when a generous local resident donated more than 600 dolls to the museum, adding to its already impressive collection of 400 vintage dolls. Visitors can dive into Barbie’s glamorous world, complete with fabulous costumes and a selfie booth to capture those “Barbie Girl” moments.
The museum exhibit is open noon to 5 p.m. Thursday and Sunday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
