Chautauqua Miniatures and Dollhouse Gallery is owned and operated by two dedicated miniaturists - Sandra Duffee and Heather Johnson. In 2003, we purchased the former Pearson's Miniature Store from Lakewood, New York. Leaving behind our 9 to 5 jobs, we took the chance to pursue a dream. (And now we work all the time!!) All our years of creating and collecting miniatures helped us realize this was a dream come true!

We also carry unique toys for the kid in all of us!

  • Creative Activity Sets
  • Paper Dolls
  • Melissa & Doug Toys
  • Tea Sets
  • Wood Blocks & Baby Toys
  • Fold 'n Go Dollhouse, Barn, Castles and Stable
  • Fun gifts for those hard to buy for 'tweens'

The Miniature Shop is located at a wonderful place called The Red Brick Village Shops in Mayville New York, close by the shores of beautiful Chautauqua Lake.

The Village Shops includes our Gift Shop- "2 Chixx"- (located under the same roof as the Miniature Shop), also a Yarn Cottage, and "Table Top" Store. Beautiful gardens and a water feature complete this experience.

A top class French Restaurant - La Fleur - is open June to August. In addition we are located only one mile from the world famous Chautauqua Institution. This is truly a destination location, so plan to spend some time!

The new Chautauqua Suites and Conference Center, just past The Red Brick Village Shops heading toward Mayville, is now booking rooms with a view of the Lake. It is a great place, right close by, to stay when you take one of our classes.
