National Toy Hall of Fame
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National Toy Hall of Fame is a hall of fame that recognizes the contributions of toys and games that have sustained their popularity for many years. Established in 1998, the National Toy Hall of Fame was originally housed at A.C. Gilbert's Discovery Village in Salem, Oregon, United States, but was moved to the Strong Museum (now the Strong - National Museum of Play) in Rochester, New York, in 2002 after it outgrew its original home.
