The Girl Scouts “Little House”
The “Little House” was set up in the early 1920s in Washington, DC to serve as the headquarters for demonstrating the home-making activities of the Girl Scouts.
First Lady Lou Hoover was closely involved with the Girl Scouts.  In 1930 Mrs. Hoover commissioned a New York craftsman to make, at her expense, an exact reproduction doll house of the original “Little House,” including dolls dressed in Scout uniforms and even the paper on the walls.  See it here.
Happy 100th birthday to the Girl Scouts of America!
