In 1931 at the height of the Great Depression, the Harveys, a poor family from Alabama, began making their way north to find work. Unfortunately as the family traveled through Gibson County, the five year old daughter Dorothy Marie Harvey contracted the measles and died.
Heartbroken, the family had to bury her in an unmarked grave in Hope Hill Cemetery just outside of Medina, Tennessee. After hearing about the young girl, local businessmen came to the aid of the family and placed a headstone to mark Dorothy’s final resting place. But the townspeople felt an obligation to do more and also built a small playhouse around the grave marker for the child.
Sadly, a few years later, vandals broke into the cemetery and destroyed the playhouse. Once again the community rallied around the little girl and built her a new one.
Today the playhouse still stands in the cemetery. And according to locals, once the sun starts to set, the spirit of a little girl has been seen playing in the small house. Locals who often visit the cemetery have wandered over to the playhouse only to see a little girl in a white dress staring back at them through a window.

Somebody really needs to clean out that house and put new flowers and bears and stuff in it. It's a mess!! Poor little girl!

[@debsam77]

It’s heartbreaking and not nearly as nice as the one in Alabama.

[@cynthiajohns0n442]

I was thinking the same thing! It is probably full of vermin & mold. I wish I lived closer because I would clean it up!

[@marlabilton]

I know right? I don't live close by either.

[@curiouslyme524]

I agree. The house needs to be restored & the little one's grave maintained. She needs new toys.

[@marygriesinger8353]

Rest in peace sweet baby

[@cornerstone403]

This is how so many graves end up. Families move or die off. No one else to take care of graves

[@1CathyHendrix]

How cool!! I would really like to put new stuff in her little doll house. I can't imagine the heartbreak her family went through. So nice of the community to come together for this family. Thanks so much for taking us here. Really enjoyed it. Hope you have a great week ahead and God bless!

[@mao2233]

Jason, do what you can afford to do. You are really doing all of us a good work by sharing your videos with us. I know exactly what you mean about the cost of visiting places other than around the home base. I just again want to thank you for always being so positive and respectful to those you are visiting and to your audience as well. I'm very proud of you for all you do. Thank you again. (Edit: missed the "k" in "thank")

[@heatheredwards1740]

How lovely is that wiv all her toys x

[@linedanzer4302]

You made me smile when you decided not to got in. Especially imagining what it would be like if the door closed behind you. LOL! What an interesting resting place. It needs a good cleaning/neatening up though.

[@leesashriber5097]

I love your channel Jason. You really go into depth with each upload. I never got a notification for this but am glad it came up on my feed. May that sweet angel continue to rest peacefully. ❤️🙏🕊️ It'd be nice for the community to come together and clean up the flowers etc.

[@MsWDWFAN1]

I wish it was maintained. It's sad that the house is in poor shape and deteriorating. May Miss Dorothy Marie Harvey rest in peace. 🙏😔

[@user-po7bp7oz1k]

There is a doll house in Connersville Indiana.This little girl wanted a doll house to play in she passed and her family placed a dollhouse over her grave

[@julie.1081]

It'd be nice if a church in the area would volunteer some time to fix this little house.

[@Cdog92704]

😂 Jason you made me laugh about going in and door shut..like a movie...i was thinking samething.When you were talking about going in..or not going in.. no way I go in there..I pay my respect..from outside..great job...Cdog

[@pegschwalbach2500]

You do such a great job telling stories, and I can tell you do research into whomever you're talking about. Well done.😊

[@barbarapeller]

I don't think it would take much for someone to maintain this, sad.

[@calimatt24traxxas]

If I lived in that area I'd clean it out and plant new flowers.

[@MommaWolf1967]

It breaks my heart that the Dolls house is in desperate need or repair and nothing is being done to restore it I think the state where she is burried should consider building the little Girl a New Dolls house and mentain it

[@jadeshepherd2398]

Hi jason lovely video thank you for sharing this with all of us take care

[@Josh31287]

I'm gonna do some research on that....my last name is Harvey

[@unicornpoop212]

Let us know if you come up with anything

[@Josh31287]

@@unicornpoop212 will do because I am from Tennessee as well so I'm very interested in doing the research

[@sarahp9982]

My other half was a Harvey... his son is a Harvey and little is known about the kin folk... wow....

[@TammyMilam-yc4yn]

Nice work

[@marywilliams7977]

Enjoyed your video. Thanks

[@TammyMilam-yc4yn]

This house needs to be restored and most everything needs to be replaced

[@andrewmelville4570]

Good video again Jason. The research you put into these videos always interests me. You have done two of the four dolls house is the plan to do the other two?

[@BackRoads1]

Absolutely will do them. They are both in Indiana and maybe a hour or less from each other. Will probably do a combo on those

[@whatsthedealwithdanny3913]

Really cool.

[@jmd1743]

It would be cool if somebody were to come in and clean it up such as as give it a new floor.

[@Michael85338]

R.i.p.

[@AshleyJ-vs8qy]

I wish that she never died

[@jeanaesamuel47]

❤❤❤❤

[@31Alden]

Wish little Dorothy’s final resting place was not is such disarray. It’s really a mess.

[@samanthagomez7074]

[@enchantress1973]

Lord that's a mess.. can't someone clean it up and build her a nice brick dollhouse n seal it up ..she deserves better than that 😢

[@yevonnehorn6196]

What the matter with people. Leave her alone.

[@JivinJoe1984]

That's sad

[@hangin-in-thereawesome4245]

It needs to be refurbished! Looks terrible! If she does come out ever to play with her toys she would be sad!

[@johnmccandless9229]

HI BUDDY I LOVE UR VIDEOS

[@BackRoads1]

Thanks for watching. I’m glad you enjoy the videos!

[@JasonJames72]

Is a bit scary. They weren't stuffed toys... they were people who entered. Lol. No disrespect to the little girl may she rest in peace. 😊

[@paulasalter1041]

Looks like a place for wasps or snakes. Don't blame you for not going in. Good intentions I guess but not a good environment.

[@carolgillis5265]

Very nice, go to the other ones

[@sheilableeks2030]

How are you guys doing good I hope we are doing great. Gotten gauge Christmas morning getting ready to get married.

[@BackRoads1]

Congratulations on the engagement!

[@HeidiTeutsch-pt5pj]

What happened to her

[@ilanamillion8942]

Is there a floor in that dollhouse or is it just sitting on the grass?

[@BackRoads1]

It’s sitting on the grass.

[@Charlotte-f1i]

I'm going to build me a dollhouse grave for my body😊😅😮😢🎉😂❤

[@susanearhart7585]

Her little house needs cleaned up, and refurbished, at least a floor, to keep it clean. If i lived there, I'd do it. It wouldn't take much to just put a little floor in there, and some new toys.

[@whatsthedealwithdanny3913]

I've been slower making videos as well.

[@tammymilam2428]

It needs repaired

[@kristenwiebe8244]

Typo that guy was showing disrespect towards that poor little girl why didn't he just pray for her I liked her cute little doll house church house. Its cute but the care taker should take better care of it.

[@kristenwiebe8244]

Your showing disrespect towards her she was just a little girl why couldn't you say a prayer for her. She's an an innocent angel in heaven she didn't deserve to die.
