Margaret Schlesinger of the Museum of Science and Industry gives the history and inside story of the iconic castle, which was built for a Hollywood star and is beloved by millions.
One of the most popular film actresses of her time, Colleen Moore assembled a legion of her industry colleagues to help craft this miniature home of fantastic proportions.
She shared it during the Great Depression, touring the country to raise funds for children's charities.
Then this one-of-a-kind castle was welcomed into its new home at the Museum of Science and Industry, where it has enchanted children of all ages since 1949.
