Dorothy's House

Dorothy's House
Dorothy's House was built in 1907 and donated to the Seward County Historical Society. Volunteers moved the house to its present location on the grounds. It has been carefully restored and furnished to replicate the house shown in the movie "The Wizard of Oz", reproducing the warmth of the farmhouse where Dorothy realized that, "There's no place like home." Former governor John Carlin recognized the house as the official home of Dorothy Gale in 1981.
 
Dorothy Statue
It is the goal of the SCHS Board to have a life-size sculpture of Dorothy and ToTo placed in the rainbow flowerbed near Dorothy’s House. There will be a limited edition offering of bronze scale replicas of the sculpture “There’s No Place Like Home”. The 13” high table top bronze Dorothy Statute, sculpted by Lee Lester, will be on display. Proceeds from the purchases of the bronzes will go to the purchase of the life-size bronze.
