PopCult Goes To The 2022 Marx Toy Convention

We revisit The 2022 Marx Toy Convention at The Kruger Street Toy & Train Museum in Wheeling, West Virginia, held June 18th and 19th .The Marx Toy Convention happens there the third weekend of June every year.

Following the first day of the Marx Toy Convention, many collectors made the short trip to The Mound Museum in nearby Moundsville, West Virginia, for a book signing and discussion about the new book, Memories of Marx Toys: Glen Dale, by Gary L. Rider and Roeseanna Dakan Keller . The authors of this oral history of The Marx Toys plant in Glen Dale signed books and presented a talk with some of the employees of the Marx Toy factory and their families.

In addition to a look at the convention, we also have some footage of the book signing, and we also have footage from Francis Turner’s  Marx Toy Museum, also in Moundsville, which only opens one or two nights a year since it ceased daily operation in 2016.
