History is important, including the creepy parts of it. 

Wayne Gannaway is executive director of the History Center of Olmsted County in Rochester, MN.  In 2019, his organization debuted a new exhibit and contest called Creepy Dolls, which has become an internet sensation.  An all-new Creepy Dolls exhibit is back in 2022 with a cult movies theme.

Wayne has a background in Early American history with a focus on Thomas Jefferson and Mark Twain. While the creepy dolls exhibit is an unconventional way to promote history, Wayne firmly believes history is fun and there’s learning opportunities from our toys from the past.
