Dolls of the Dark

Close-up of a doll’s face with a blank expression on the left; event text on the right reads “Dolls of the Dark, October 24, 25 & 31, Cox House” against a black background.

Step into the Cox House this Halloween season for a unique and intriguing experience with our dolls of the dark.

The house will be quiet. The halls will be dim. And in the soft, flickering light, our dolls will be waiting for you…

You are invited to a three-night-only display of dolls from the Society’s collection, along with select pieces from private collectors—including porcelain beauties, fractured smiles, and threadbare forms long since forgotten. Explore the house to reveal the forgotten playthings hidden within the storied walls.

There will be no jump scares, no haunted house actors—just the uneasy feeling that someone, or something, is watching.

Suggested donation: $5 per person
Minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Step lightly. They’ve been waiting a very long time.
