The Doll and Miniature Museum in High Point, North Carolina, is a reassuring place to visit. Tended by staff who clearly love dolls, it manages to survive in our inhospitable economic climate.
Worn out by so much disturbing news--from millions of secret dollars spent on political campaigns to mean-spirited violations of privacy on the internet--I was glad to be somewhere innocent and wholesome.
Hooray for all of the little museums around the country doing simple, humble work. Heroes still exist; you just don't find them on the news.
