This is one of the many houses, buildings, figurines, and accessories in the Colonial Village Collection. It is called "The Toymaker". A favorite memory among children of all ages was the Toy Shop owned by the Clausenthathers. It was fun just to look in the win- dows at the colorful examples of their ingenuity and creativity: Whirligigs and whatcha-ma-jiggers, thing- a-ma-bobs, and topsy-turvies.....and the most magnif- cent rocking horses this side of a carousel. Sebastian and his wife, Selena, made everything they sold, entirely by hand, in the tiny work-room behind the store. Repro- ductions of their toys are still popular and sold in the shop.

This is one of the many houses, buildings, figurines, and accessories in the Colonial Village Collection. It is called "Trader Tom's General Store". Trader Tom's was an institution in Colonial Village. They had a little bit of everything--for just about everybody--from seeds and implements for farmers to needles, thread and fabric for home sewers. Most folks were in and out of the General Store on a weekly basis and while they were there, they'd set a spell if they could spare the time and catch up on the local news and gossip. Times have changed but the practice hasn't and the old potbellied stove, in the center of the store, is where folks swap stories.

This is one of the many houses, buildings, figurines, and accessories in the Colonial Village Collection. It is called "Vanderspeck's Mill". Nature provided the power to turn the blades of Vanderspeck's Mill. It took his ingenuity to harness it and put it to work. The Netherlands native saw no reason that, properly sited, a windmill wouldn't work as well in Colonial Village as it did in his homeland. He was right. It did. He built his windmill just as Sanderson's watermill had reached its capacity. There was more than enough grist for both as farms grew in both size and productivity. They comple- mented each other rather than competed. Since Lefton has changed ownership, this collection is no longer being produced.

This is one of the many houses, buildings, figurines, and accessories in the Colonial Village Collection. It is called "Victorian Gazebo". Gazebos were popular expressions of Victorian architecture.

This is one of the many houses, buildings, figurines, and accessories in the Colonial Village Collection. It is called "Village Inn". The Village Inn predated the fancy Ritz Hotel by over half a century. It had been the place to stay and its major claim to fame was that two Presidents had been guests. In its hey- day, a night's lodging cost fifty cents. A hot bath added a dime to the bill. And, for twenty cents, a breakfast of steak and eggs was served in the bay- windowed dining room.
