The Beaver Island Toy Museum, located in a picturesque birch grove overlooking the Harbor near Whiskey Point, is a treasure trove of childhood nostalgia and collector's items. Run by local artist Mary Scholl, the museum is housed in a building she designed herself, filled to the brim with candy jars, vintage postcards, rubber figures, books, toys, and even valuable metal cars and trucks from the 20's and 30's.
In addition to the impressive collection, the museum also features an art alcove showcasing paintings by various artists, including former art teacher Shirley Gladish. Outside, visitors can explore a sculpture garden filled with whimsical creations, surrounded by beautiful cherry trees and Mary's legendary plant collections. With its vibrant displays and Mary's infectious enthusiasm, the Beaver Island Toy Museum offers a delightful and unique experience for visitors of all ages.
