Abstract:
Prunkl discusses the Toy Museum at Old Salem in Winston-Salem. The museum, the vision of Tom Gray and his mother, Anne Gray, opened in November 2002. The Grays donated their 4,000-piece toy collection, with items dating from 225 A.D. to 1925, for auction. The $250,000 raised purchased 95 percent of the museum's collection, which features toys children played with from the state's earliest settlements to the early 20th century.
