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 mache, 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.
Museum is on the same grounds at the Bluebird Restaurant and Ampitheatre. |
