Wooden Wonders

Wooden Toy CompanyThe smell of fresh cut wood welcomes you when you enter the door at the Cambridge Wooden Toy Company & Great American Steam Locomotive Museum. For over 40 years, master craftsman Brian C. Gray has been creating handmade steam locomotives from walnut. The museum display room is a magnificent look at the impact railroads had on the growth of America. Model trains, equipment, and old photographs tell the story of America’s Steam Locomotives.

In addition, Brian handcrafts wooden toys for the “young and young at heart.” Alongside his hand carved steam locomotives, children are delighted to find cascading marble trees, alphabet train cars, rocking horses and much more – all within reach. The shop and museum are open year-round from 9am-5pm on Monday – Saturday. You’ll even receive a personal tour by the craftsman himself.
