The Rockbridge Historical Society’s new exhibit, ROCKBRIDGE AT PLAY: Toys, Games & Histories, welcomes “kids of all ages” at the RHS Museum (101 E. Washington St.): open Saturdays & Sundays 12-4 PM through December 2025.
The exhibit features a variety of toys, historic photographs, and locally-tied artifacts, drawn from both RHS’ permanent collections and unique community-sourced loans. Displays cluster around a range of themes marking childhood and adolescent play in the 19th and 20th centuries: including Sports, Scouting, Sewing, Shopping … and even the Circus.
