  • Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Antiques & Design Show
    December 19, 2006

    December 12, 2006

    Throughout December, Winston-Salem’s historic district is alive with candlelight tours and caroling, wagon rides and visits from St Nick. At the Old Salem Toy Museum, however, the presents are already unwrapped. The gift of Thomas A. Gray and his mother, the late Anne Pepper Gray (1921–2003), the Old Salem Toy Museum — one of four institutions that together make up Old Salem Museums and Gardens — houses 1,200 antique playthings dating from 225 to 1925. On view are European, British and American dolls and dollhouses, menageries, circuses, parlor toys, transportation toys, German wooden toys, seasonal toys, and children’s dishes, furniture, uniforms and sporting equipment.
