The Arizona Doll & Toy Museum is located on West Myrtle Avenue in Glendale, Arizona.[1][2]

It was founded in Phoenix in 1987 by Inez McCrary and when located at Heritage and Science Park in the Stevens-Haustgen House, featured four rooms of exhibits including a 1912 schoolroom, hat shop and dry goods store.[3][4]

McCrary served as the museum's curator for twenty years and the museum took visitors through both European and American doll styles.[1] The collection features modern dolls, as well as one that is more than three hundred years old.[5]
