The troll dolls fad swept the nation during the 1960’s, 1970’s and again in the 1990’s with their colorful hair, cute faces and “magnetism for good luck.” In the Manhattan’s Lower East Side, Reverend Jen started a museum dedicated to all things trolls in her apartment. You’ll find limited-edition dolls such as the rock 'n' roll Elvis troll and one that is supposedly haunted. All except for two trolls found online have made their way to Reverend Jen and she’ll be happy to tell a story for each of them. Visits are by appointment only so call ahead of time.  

With residents from different walks of life, New York City piles on interesting stories and artifacts that give a unique history. Whether it’s troll dolls, old subway cars or morbid anatomy findings, New York houses fascinating unconventional museums that you do not want to miss.
