Did you know?

The National Farm Toy Museum was founded in 1986. The museum is located in Dyersville,
Iowa, that specializes in preserving and displaying scale models, replicas, and toys based on
farm equipment. The initial idea of the museum came from the founders of the Ertl
Company, Dave Bell and Claire Scheibe.

The museum has over 30,000 guests each year and about 30,000 farm toys; it is also the
center of the National Farm Toy Show. The National Farm Toy Museum includes one of the
largest collections of cast iron farm toys. The museum is a part of yearly toy shows in June
and November. Ertl CEO Fred Ertl Jr.'s personal farm toy collection was auctioned off at the
National Farm Toy Museum after he retired. Thanks in part to the museum, but also to the
fact that three farm toy companies are in Dyersville, the city is known as the Farm Toy
Capital of the World.
