Admission charged.
The 140 doll houses displayed date from 1780-1980. Included are rare masterpieces from around the world. One of the most striking is a five story English
manor house complete with servants quarters, nursery, sewing room and both gentlemen's and ladies' drawing rooms. Another treasure is the Japanese Palace, displayed with a complete collection of Hina
Matsuri Festival dolls.
The collection is displayed in one of Fort Erie's historic landmarks: Bertie Hall, built in 1832. The mansion was part of the "underground railroad" network
through which slaves were smuggled to freedom in Canada.
