SYCAMORE – With this holiday season all around us, the Sycamore History Museum thought it would be a great time to take a moment and look back at those favorite toys from years ago. Roger Watson will talk about his personal collection of vintage toys, many made during World War II, in the Brown Bag Lunch series at noon on Jan. 3.

“Since our current exhibit is about play and we feature a variety of toys, we thought that people would enjoy learning about how and why toys have changed over the years,” explained Michelle Donahoe, executive director of the Sycamore History Museum. “Watson’s talk is a perfect fit.”

Watson will bring a sample of his personal collection. He will also focus on why many of the toys from World War II were made from wood.
