Cornelia Vanderbilt Whitneys Dollhouse Shaped On Family Home
A 13 room miniature mansion on the Whitney farm near Lexington Kentucky replicates the main Whitney house with authentic furnishings.

The doll house reflects the family history and will gain an addition as construction continues. Mrs. Whitney also authored a book detailing the dollhouse story and its roots in the 1784 main residence.
