Our store is our story

Our passion for history drove us to invest in a nearly 100-year-old building, making it as cherished as the items it contains. At Little Toy Factory, we aim to revive the charm of traditional toy and hobby stores, now nearly a distant memory. Our goal is to inspire everyone to explore hobbies and unleash their creativity, or revive an old passion.

We pride ourselves on maintaining an open and welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable asking questions. Whether you’re shopping for a grandchild, starting your first model kit, adding a new farm toy to your collection, or picking up a deck of cards for the next game of cribbage, we’re here to help.
