Historical NotesThis doll stroller was received by the donor Kathleen Stevens, née Fahlen, for Christmas in 1956. Kathleen Fahlen grew up in Albion, PA, and the stroller was a surprise gift from her grandparents along with a “Bridy” doll. She remembers frequently playing with both the doll and the stroller.
