The Cleveland Miniaturia Society, Inc.

Home About Us Meetings Shows Contact Us

The Cleveland Miniaturia Society Inc. was founded on April 18, 1971 as a nonprofit organization providing a supportive, wholesome, atmosphere to promote interest in the field of dollhouses, and miniature furnishings and accessories. Our goal is to bring together people of like minds in order to share our love of the hobby that captivates us. Our members, adults and adolescents alike, represent all skill levels from beginner to advanced artisan. We participate in activities that allow us to share our individual talents and knowledge while enjoying the company of entertaining and interesting people. These activities include picnics, visits to view members’ collections, trips to museums, specialty shops and miniature shows. CMS is the proud sponsor of an annual Dollhouse and Miniature Show and Sale. Begun in 1971, ours is the longest continuous running miniature show in the United States, where the finest miniature artisans, manufacturers, and dealers from around the country present their products for purchase and enjoyment. CMS as an organization and through its individual members takes an active role in supporting the Greater Cleveland community. Every year, a raffle at our annual Dollhouse and Miniature Show and Sale benefits a local charitable organization. These include Ronald MacDonald House, Camp Cheerful, Make-A-Wish Foundation, Providence House, Aluminum Cans for Burned Children, and Rainbow Babies’ & Children’s Hospital. Our members have also restored dollhouses for the Western Reserve Historical Society and the Clague Museum. In addition, we have constructed a miniature operating suite to help hospitalized children understand and become more comfortable with their hospital stay.
