Toy Museum at Bee Active Toys

Bee Active Toys and the Piatt County Museum have opened up a new exhibit, Playthings from the Past, at Bee Active Toys. While we have had over 300 vintage and collectible toys on display throughout the store since we opened, this display is in a room all by itself and adds over 100 antique cast iron banks, dolls, games and other playthings that Piatt County residents have played with since the late 1800's. This is a joint venture between the Piatt County Museum and Bee Active Toys and is the first time in over 10 years that the Museums collection has been available for the public to see. The museum entrance is on Charter St. but can be accessed upon request through Bee Active Toys. If you have a group or would like a tour of the toys in the Museum, please call us to arrange a time where we will be glad to show you.
