As you wander in this virtual museum, you will be able to explore a variety of objects and how these simple things made an impact on our everyday lives.

Each year we will introduce a new exhibit from the Changnon family, alternating between toys and collectibles. 

Current Exhibits:

Addy Walker: Why She Matters

Our third virtual exhibit, Addy Walker: Why She Matters, celebrates the 30th anniversary of Addy’s debut in 1993. This exhibit showcases a near-complete collection of Addy and her playthings. Relive your childhood through Addy’s collection, explore articles and programs about Addy and her creation, as well as share your favorite memories.

Our inaugural exhibit, American Girl: 35 Years of Strong Characters, showcases Blake Changnon’s extensive American Girl collection and celebrates the toy company’s 35th anniversary of creating strong, courageous and heroic characters living and growing up in different times in America’s history.
