The World of Pleasantville

The dolls of Pleasantville each have personalities and interests, which you can read about on each of their family pages. They live in different houses which are appropriate for their time periods with the rest of their family, and you can tour through those houses right here.

The grown-ups all have jobs in Pleasantville, and the children have to do their chores daily. Their chores often include writing back to their letters, and working on sewing their own dresses and clothes. The clothes are often created to match the fashions true to their time periods that each of the families follow.

Each family has a recipe book that they use to create dishes that belong in their time periods. We have illustrated some of those recipes on the website and are always adding more.

The characters sometimes get ill or sick, and need to be treated by the town healer, Josefina. Those remedies can be seen here.

The stories and life of Pleasantville is chronicled in beautiful photos and words through Ourdolls.net's famous photo stories. Read about balls and parties, bad weather, holidays, school and daily life in these stories told with pictures taken in Pleasantville.
