National Farm Toy Museum

The National Farm Toy Museum is a museum 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 National Farm Museum was founded in 1986; the founding of the museum arose from a discussion between Dave Bell and Claire Scheibe about needing a bigger space for the coming National Farm Toy Shows.

The floor also includes a play area, dioramas of farm homesteads, and small exhibits that detail how toys are produced.
