Popular Collections - Toys and Games

Hey players and gamers: we play because it's fun, but through toys and games we learn the skills and cultural knowledge we need as adults. For example Walter Chrysler played with toy train engines as a boy and became a car maker. Through games and toys we learn skills, ways of thinking, and imitating life. The Historical Society's collection contains more than 4,000 toys and games donated by Kansans. So start playing around with our online collection.
