That was a great place to bring us along for the tour. I recognized a few from the 60’s and 70’s that I owned. I have fond memories of those times. Thanks a lot Ken and Lauren.

Who can forget Howdy Doody's theme song? We used to rush home from school to watch Howdy Doody. . . . in black and white no less. . . . It's Howdy Doody time, etc. Thank you for sharing a "quaint" experience. 😊

That was fun. Thanks for taking us along. I always enjoy seeing your Lauren. I’m going to send this video to my Lauren. She was born in 81, and I still have some of her toys here. I keep slowly taking things to her kids so I can empty my patio room. Although, now, I have more of my stuff in there now. It used to be the play toy room and storage. Now mom needs to clean up her act. As soon as my back gets better and it warms up. Have a blessed Sunday!

Great place to spend the day ! Always lots of antiques and treasures for sale ! Cheers !

Oh my gosh! Steve Erkel! Lol! Pretty cool!🙂A little bit of everything!Thank you , for sharing , your interesting , journey in Vermount!Man, the memories ,broken down in segments of time.

That train display and running was something. A lot of meticulous work went into setting up the mountains, tunnels, and buildings.

Wow! I love seeing all the toys from long ago. I remember my brother had a set of Colt 45 pistols and dual holsters. We had HO scale Trains and slot car race sets in the cellar. I did not see many board games but those occupied a lot of our time on rainy days. Thanks for the trip down memory lane ken. Enjoy all the moments with your daughter. We lost one of our 3 daughters last month so cherish every second you can.

Thanks for taking us on the tour. Wish I still had some of my tous from mid 50's to mid 60's. Until next time you & Lureen have a great day

Soooo many cool toys from back in the day. Would be awesome to walk thru and check them all out .Thanks for sharing

Nice, wife and I have been stopping by for years on our way to Lake George. Love this place. 👍🎅🏻

Love the trains👏👏👏

Cool place. We are going to have to come for a visit in the spring. Thanks for the tour.

Going to a Toy Museum! Wow, that is quite the collection! I like how they arranged them by era. Lunchboxes too! The railroad part was very cool too! I liked how you had to put money in to get it to run. That saves them from having to run it all the time or having to start it up when people show up. Quechee Vermont is worth a visit! Thank you Lauren and Ken for showing us this landmark!

It was enjoyable. Spotted a few toys that I had as a kis. FUN

Ken great video as always. Great to see you with your assistant having fun. Love going to quiche VT. Never knew the toy museum was there. Thanks for letting me know!!! I’ll be sure to stop in next time I’m there

Saw a bank I had that shot a penny into a spaceship... had hours of fun with that. I had a Colt 45 cap gun, and caps in general made my day in the 50's and 60's ... One thing I didn't see was a hammer, I loved to pound nails into my back porch stairs, as well as play mumbly peg... with a jack knife. Then when I became a teen I wanted socket sets and tools to work on cars... My parents lived thru the depression and were working class... so getting 5 cents to buy a package of Baseball cards and gum, to later play toss to the wall also made for fun day after day.

That train display was really cool.

I’m pretty sure I remember riding by there on our motorcycle trip last summer. Didn’t stop though but put it on the list to come back to. Definitely remember the entrance to Killington though! Nice video Ken and Lauren.

The "Cowboy Toys" brought back memories. I had a Cisco Kid outfit and a Hopalong Cassidy one. That really dates me. I remember a lot of those things. When you retire you could build a Vermont themed electric train layout. That was a neat trip.Thank you.

Hi Ken, my town had a Howdy's also located in Fitchbugr Ma. They made the best French Fries, what a great memory.

Remember when kids could have toy guns and not get into trouble now they go to jail if they play with them. i love the train layout.

I still have my Betsy Wetsy and her original clothes and rubber pants. From the late 50's early 60's. We were in Quechee gorge in '98. Rode to the top of Killington Mt on ski chair lift. Beautiful area! I remember a lot of those toys.

Really cool tour. That train display showing parts of Vermont was amazing. Great team. Thank you

I drove by many times as I was working on the VINS building I should return and see the inside for myself, also VINS.

Great fun thank Ken and Lauren😊

Very interesting, great to see all the old toys and games

Neat toy museum.

👍👍👍

A dad and his daughter! I can relate as I have two daughters but they're all grown with families! Makes me wish I could have a day with them like you two! Nostalgic place!! I would hope they have good insurance!! Have a wonderful weekend and may the good Lord bless the two of you!! Looks like He does!! 🙂

Looked like a fun adventure to me.

What a sweet daughter you Have Mr. Ken.

Also in Quechee is Simon Pearce where you can see artisans hand blowing glass.

Good one Ken and kudos to Lauren for her involvement in your "video adventures." Just great. Thanks to you both. ( ~~~ Aand my weight loss is going "so so." I'm putting off a "weigh in" with a target of 210 - that's a good number for me. ) Three cheers for Vermont! ✨🌸🙏🌸✨

Thanks Ken and Co-host Lauren 😉👍

nice job guys

That was a ride down memory lane, thank you for sharing!

Hey Lauren, I loved the Fraggle Rock toys but did you happen to see Emmet Otters jug-band Christmas? I believe it was from 1977 maybe a little b4 your time but if you haven't heard of them, Google them and listen to some of their music, you'll love it!! Oh😯hey👋Mr. Ken have a Blessed weekend my friend.

Great tour !

Great video. I can't imagine the time and money that the train set has in it. Incredible!

That train layout was pretty sweet.

WOW as a parent I see where we went to delightful toys toys to horrid toys I guess it shows when our generation changed from playful to violent.

Hi Ken, thank you for sharing your terrific podcast/video, s of the beautiful Vermont country side.! Now let me share another podcast.I think you will get a kick out of it.Go to, on U tube,Base Camp Chris on Sunday, Feb. 5th.A neat story of Northern Vermont!Enjoy!🙂

Thanks

Timber Village! I can remember when it wasn't there. There used to be a miniature train that took kids for a ride around the perimeter of the place too. Did you fly your drone in the Gorge? Did you have a chance to go to Billings Farm & Museum?

Enjoyed Ken, the toys certainly reflect the culture of the time. For instance the 50s toy gun exhibit, represented my stereotype of the 50s American society. Today we mourn a child killing a teacher. I was in my orange box toy store and purchased a drywall knife, the automatic checkout machine called an attendant who reset the machine and said that we have to check on all knife purchases.

Been there

Earliest toy - a stick

LoL guns have always been a part of childhood toys ??? Maybe it's not the gun but other toys that the violence is thriving

No GI Joe's?
