The History of Toys  From Ancient Egypt to modern animatronics, the history of toys is a wonderful insight into how we choose to entertain and instruct not just our children, but ourselves. From the wire helix wave demonstrator to caltrops to the European garotte, toys have a fabulous history. Come hear the awe inspiring story of the burden on the family and the useless nephew.   This comes with over 60 vintage toys and covers three thousand years of creative play.

Sari Bitticks has served as president of the Auburn Historical Society and Museum for the past 12 years. She has researched and presented over 70 talks on various subjects for the Society and for area schools, senior centers, and other organizations.
