💬 What Visitors Say

💬Bring cash ($3-4) for admission to the main doll collection rooms, as the antique shop may not have reliable card payment options. One visitor had to plan a return trip after arriving without cash.
🕐Visit on weekday afternoons (like Wednesday) rather than Friday afternoons to avoid parking challenges in the Old Rectory area.
💬Plan to spend at least an hour browsing the self-guided tour of the doll collection. The interactive guide with story cubes for each doll enhances the experience.
💡Book a group tour through the Worthington Historical Society for a richer experience beyond the self-guided tour. Multiple visitors mentioned the society offers additional tours worth attending.
💡Explore the attached antique shop and gift shop with consigned vintage items, linens, jewelry, and unique finds—visitors often discover unexpected treasures and there's Worthington Bean Soup mix available.
