Healdsburg Museum announced the opening of the annual holiday toy exhibition on Saturday, Nov. 29. Curated by Lauren Villacorte and Frances Schierenbeck, this year’s exhibition, “Our Favorite Toys,” features toys and photos of the children who loved them. Museum visitors will delight in seeing Barbies, Teddy bears, games, stuffed animals, toy trucks and more.
Visitors of all ages can make paper ornaments, take a ride on a wooden rocking elephant, play games like “Kerplunk” and “Operation,” and race Hot Wheels. Wayne Padd’s incredible Lionel model railroad, with running trains and a scaled-down Healdsburg train depot and village, returns again this year for families to enjoy.
The exhibition will be on display from Nov. 29 to Jan. 4, 2026, Wednesdays through Sundays, 11am to 4pm. The Museum will be closed for the holidays, Dec. 24-25 and Jan. 1.
The Museum is located at 221 Matheson St., Healdsburg. Admission is free; donations are appreciated.
