Description
| Detail: |
Step back in time at a holiday toy exhibit at the Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park on December 3 through December 5, when the park will display selected items from its collection of historic toys, games and Christmas decorations from the 1870s through the 1940s. Highlights of the exhibit include board and card games from the 1870s and 1880s that were used by Fred Dangberg, Jr., and his siblings, as well as numerous toys enjoyed by Fred's five children in the first years of the 20th century. These include a fully furnished, homemade dollhouse, a small wood-burning cook stove, a child's drop-front desk and a miniature tea cart. A variety of dolls, handmade doll clothing and doll accessories will be shown. The creative side of children's play will be explored with a display of puzzles, building toys, paint sets, crayons and coloring books dating from 1900 to 1945. During the event, a volunteer pianist will fill the house with music playing the Dangberg's 1916 grand piano. The exhibit will be open from 12:00 to 4:00 p.m. on Friday, December 3, through Sunday, December 5. Admission is $3.00 for adults and free for children 12 and under |
