Heinz History Center presents program on American Girl dolls

1 min read

This Saturday, the Senator John Heinz History Center, in partnership with the University of Pittsburgh’s Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences, will celebrate Women’s History Month with “American Girlhood: A Window into History,” a program examining the history and impact of America’s favorite historical dolls.

The program includes a sold-out lecture featuring authors Connie Porter, Jackie Greene, and Wendy Wan-Long Shang, who will share their experiences writing the narratives for characters in the American Girl doll series.

From 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., visitors can design a paper doll with the University of Pittsburgh’s Book Making Club, view girlhood-inspired artifacts in the Detre Library and Archives, learn about the American Girl doll-lending program at local libraries, participate in a themed scavenger hunt, and browse the Riverstone Books pop-up shop.

These activities are included with regular museum admission.

Children are encouraged to bring their American Girl dolls to the museum. Admission is free for kids.
