Thank you so much!

I'd love to see more historic American Girl dolls that capture the very early days of the colonies, the time period of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and from there. The clothing changes so much, how fun would that be? And so much more important history could be covered.

Thanks Rachel and Cathy!

This is an INCREDIBLE haul!!! Thank you for sharing and thank you to the donor!

🙋‍♀️❤️ SO GLAD you will have American Dolls on display. They deserve a place in doll history! How thoughtful the owner was to choose you to be their caretaker!

WOW! What a treasure!

So nice to see Stanley, wonderful idea to educate with dolls, beautiful set up.

This was great! So informative ❤

I loved this video so much. Kathy has so much knowledge of American Girl dolls. How lovely of Judy to share this teaching set. It’s really amazing. I bet Paul was very excited to see them too. So nice to see Stanley in the video. We miss him so much. Big hugs. Thank you Rachel. 💕

Rachel, I so LOVE these American Girl dolls being used for Children to learn history❤❤❤❤❤!!! I so wish that when I was a Kid that these Dolls were used in history class because being that I LOVED dolls so much, even though I was mildly learning disabled I would have excelled in history!! I have always loved history, but history classes in Elementary School were mostly about memorizing dates, rather than getting deeply into the day to day lives of when, where, and how the people lived during those time periods. And since I have LOVED history since I was 5 years old and dolls even before that, I so wish that that these dolls were part of my Elementary School curriculum back in School years. As for my favorites, it is so hard to pick a favorite, but I really LOVE Felicity❤❤❤, Josefina❤❤❤, Addy❤❤❤, and Kirsten❤❤❤ the best!! However, I really LOVED Samantha's Edwardian lunch with the cute floral🌺 embroidered "napkin" or "tablecloth" with the deviled eggs🥚, sandwich🥪, and gingerbread man🤎🤎!! However, Kirsten's lunch minus the sausage sounds like what I have many times for lunch🍎🍞🧀, except the cheese is lactose free!!! Josefina is so pretty with her hoop earrings and I LOVE her desk❤❤❤❤❤!! Felicity has such beautiful green eyes💚💚 and I so LOVE her dress with her bonnet❤❤❤!!! It would have been really cool if Josefina came with a blanket that she had weaved❤🧡💛💚💙💜!!! And I so LOVE that Addy is wearing a cute pin💛💛 and I so LOVE that she has a abacus🧮 with the slate, slate pencil✏, and satchel🎒!!! I also LOVE Kirsten's braided hair with a cute red dress❤❤❤!!! And I so LOVE that these dolls come with detail books about their time periods😃😃 and they even have maps🗺 of what America looked like during their individual time periods😃😃👍👍!!! Thank you so much Kathy Leppert and Rachel for showing us and educating us on these adorable historical American dolls😃😃💯💯💯💯💯!!! And thank you Judy for donating these American Girl Dolls❤❤❤❤❤!!!

Love this video! Has Kathy ever shared her American Girl Collection on your channel? I would love to see her collection. Christopher will love these! Such a wonderful treat, thank you so much.😊

No. This was filmed right before he retired. We were saving the program.

My daughter got 100 on a test about one of her AG dolls stories. Her Teacher said she had to read other books. The older books are history. we cried with the dolls. Vallery Ttipper did a great job. We named a just like me doll after her as she was given us for free. My mother In law has dolls at 85 years old. She was a garage sale black baby. She wears Trump clothes, bathing suits, ect.... she has a trunk full of clothes.
