September Treasure of the Month

During the month of September, the Rosenberg Library will exhibit a collection of very special vintage paper dolls. The dolls depict the Badgett Quadrapulets, a set of four girls born in Galveston in 1939. The quads—named Jeraldine, Joyce, Joan, and Jeanette— were dubbed “the miracles of Treasure Isle” by the press and became media darlings during the 1940s.      (Click here for more information)
