This museum features a vast range of playthings available to American children from the 1700's to the present day.
The toys are featured in imaginative and colorful displays, and include wooden, wax, china, French and German bisque, mechanical, papier-mâché, composition, and cloth dolls; and stuffed animals and Teddy bears, most notably those manufactured by the German maker Margarete Steiff.
Special sections are devoted to some of America's most beloved and certainly most popular toys---Raggedy Ann and Andy, Shirley Temple, and Mickey and Minnie Mouse, and all the 1930's Disneyana!
Also a miniature fantasy world awaits you-- toy china sets, antique dollhouses, doll-size kitchens, doll and child-size furniture, and a detailed circus filled with both Steiff and Schoenhut circus pieces.
Make plans to join us for a whimsical step-back in time. Hopefully, during your visit, you will be happily transported to a world of wonderful childhood memories.
The museum's hours are the same as Bluebird Farm's. Group tours are encouraged and special occasions can be accommodated.
