Let’s Play! New England Toy Stories
July 8, 2020 - September 30, 2020
What is your favorite toy? Is it a board game? Or a cherished doll? Perhaps you still have it, sitting proudly on a shelf. No matter who you are or what your story is, chances are good that there is a toy somewhere in your past or present. Toys make some of our strongest memories. They are our first teachers.
Why do we play? For some, it’s an escape. For others, it’s a puzzle. A competition. A race. A lesson in how the world works. The best toys—the ones that endure—are all of these traits in one, colorful, fun-filled package. Ultimately, that’s why we play, isn’t it? Because it’s fun!
Toys and games—from the handmade to the mass produced—factor large in this region’s cultural history. Come learn about the local roots of many of America’s most beloved toys and games.
