SUMMARY:Current Exhibit: Toys Through Time: From Machine Age to Space Age
DESCRIPTION:December 6 – February 1\nThurs. – Sunday 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.\n20 4th Street (Corner of 4th and B Streets)\nToys Through Time: From Machine Age to Space Age explores how play has reflected—and helped shape—our changing world for more than a century. Featuring a collection of antique mechanical toys on loan from a local collector\, alongside Star Wars toys from Rancho Obi-Wan\, the exhibition traces a journey from the ingenuity of clockwork mechanisms to the imagination of cinematic spaceflight. Visitors will discover how toys reveal changing cultural values\, evolving materials\, and the inventive spirit that shaped both industrial progress and the dreams of the Space Age. Together\, these toys illuminate how curiosity\, creativity\, and play have propelled generations from gears to galaxies.
