Dolls of the Dark
2025-10-31 18:30 - 20:00 (America/Chicago) | Cox House, 500 N. Washington Avenue, Saint Peter, MN, 56082, United States
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 an unsettling 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. Discover these forgotten playthings through a scavenger hunt of cryptic clues, eerie trivia, and whispered invitations to explore.
There will be no jump scares, no haunted house actors, just the uneasy feeling that someone, or something, is watching.
Suggested donation: $5 per personMinors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
As you exit, cast your vote for the favorite and creepiest doll of the evening. Each donation you give counts toward that doll’s tally. The doll with the highest total at the end of the night wins. Help us decide which doll leaves the most lasting impression.
Step lightly. They’ve been waiting a very long time.
