This place was weird. I went here with visiting family and we thought it might be interesting. It didn’t have some neat toys. However, there was no signs or information on any of the toys. The staff was I think a little bit confused, senile? I’m not sure. They were nice enough but it was still a very awkward experience. It felt more like going into a hoarders home then a museum. I wouldn’t recommend this to my family and friends in the future.

Be aware that there is a SIZABLE collection of toys depicting stereotypical caricatures of black people that will be offensive to some visitors. These items are prominently displayed at the beginning of the museum, and lacking any signage to provide context about their place in history, so it comes off as quite racist. Because of this, we left the museum quite quickly. Ignoring that material (if you can), the small museum may be worth a visit. Admission is free, but hours are limited. It has a barely-labeled nondescript exterior door, and inside is just a few rooms to walk and view antique toys. There are no interactive components or additional written information provided beyond the displays. The last room is primarily a large collection of locks, rather than toys. To the owner -- I would HIGHLY recommend they reevaluate how and where the more controversial pieces are presented. As a second (much less important) note, I'd recommend incorporating additional information next to displays, a walkthrough guide, and/or interactivity -- for example, a simple printed scavenger hunt could work very well for this type of content.

I own the museum and think it is wonderful. About half of the visitors are from out of state. The museum is free and most of the toy are from pre 1940.
