In 1951, Hazel Lacey, an avid doll collector opened Lacey’s Doll House & Antique Museum by the Sea at Wecoma Beach in what is now Lincoln City, Oregon. What remains of her collection is now a part of the North Lincoln County Historical Museum in Lincoln City.
According to the Museum display:
“Over the years her collection grew to over four thousand antique dolls, one of the largest collections in the country. More than two thousand other collectibles, including a rare gun collection dating back to pioneer days and antique miniature furniture were also on exhibit at the museum for more than thirty years.”
