What makes historical characters different from other American Girl® dolls?
American Girl historical characters are 18-inch dolls and accompanying fiction books that give a girl’s-eye view of important periods in U.S. history. Spanning from Kaya™ in 1764 to Isabel™ and Nicki™, in 1999, each character helps girls explore how life and culture has changed over time—and the ways it has stayed the same. Engaging stories, relatable characters, and era-authentic accessories help kids learn through play, making history feel personal and memorable.
