For generations, children on the farm found creative ways to make their own toys from simple, natural materials. One beloved example is the corn husk doll--a handcrafted figure made from the dried leaves of a corn cob. At Quiet Valley, we demonstrate how these traditional dolls were made using time-honored techniques passed down through the years. Guests can watch as a plain corn husk is folded, tied, and shaped into a charming doll, reflecting the resourcefulness of early American families. This hands-on activity offers a glimpse into the everyday life and imagination of children in the 18th and 19th centuries.
