A visit to the Old Salem Toy Museum
Last Thursday I stopped by the Old Salem Toy Museum in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Very well displayed, the toys are primarily German soldiers and figures from the 1700's and 1800's, along with English and American doll houses from the same period. There were some examples of tin and cast iron from the late 1800's and early 1900's, including some transportation pieces from the early decades of the 1900's. It was an enjoyable hour and a half. I recommend it, as well as the Southern Furnishings and Decorations Museum next door. But there wasn't a 1:43 in the whole place.
