These toys--and the stories of the kids, parents, child-rearing
experts, inventors, manufacturers, and advertisers they
affected--reflect the dynamism of American life.
Senior exhibit developer and best-selling author Kate Roberts,
along with senior curator Adam Scher, spotlight forty-five
memorable toys, placing them in historical context and examining
their development and launch, their impact on kids and the larger
community, and their reflection of the social and cultural shifts
of each decade.
The book, developed in conjunction with the national traveling
exhibit of the same name, will include firsthand stories shared by
adults who revered these toys as kids as well as research gleaned
from primary sources and toy experts and collectors.
Kate Roberts is senior exhibit developer for the Minnesota
Historical Society (MHS) and author of the best-selling book
"Minnesota 150." Adam Scher is a senior curator in the collections
department at the MHS.
