Sylvia, a doll that links to our WW1 story.

In 1914 Daylesford and district communities sought to raise funds for the Belgium people so badly impacted by the war.

Sylvia was displayed in Tyler’s drapery store, raffled at 6d a ticket and won by Mrs Hoath of Sailors Hill.

The doll was damaged during a robbery at the museum in the 1990s, but now repaired and on fine display.
