Our second exhibit (and the first to highlight our collectibles), Childhood Nostalgia: A Collection of Pleasant Company and American Girl Catalogues, showcases Blake Changnon’s extensive collection of catalogues from the renowned toy company.

On the 30th anniversary of Addy’s debut in 1993, we proudly showcase our third exhibit, Addy Walker: Why She Matters, a near-complete collection of Addy and her playthings. We invite you to relive your childhood through Addy’s collection, explore articles and programs about Addy and her creation, as well as share your favorite memories.
