My family and I spent about three hours visiting the museum. They really enjoyed the interactive exhibits and loved the Lego station where you could build your own derby cars and then race them down the side by side wooden track. So many vintage toys included on the upper floor. Things I remembered and others before my time. Engines. Race cars. Something for everyone.

The door handle is like nothing I’ve seen. It modeled after a huge racing trophy with a checkered flag wrapped around the back. There is a race car driver celebrating on the top. Also molded into the top of the trophy are the words Smith Collection because the museum was founded by Bill and Joyce Smith.
