Middleton Museum of Toy Trains & Americana - Oddball Museums on Waymarking.com

From the OERM web site:

OERM's unique Middleton Collection is perhaps most famous for its Toy Trains, but it really does have a little bit of everything! The collection presents the joys of a lifetime of collecting by Evan Middleton, who ran the Toy Train shop at Knott's Berry Farm in the 1960s. Housed in two Denver & Rio Grande baggage cars that Evan purchased in 1967, the Middleton Collection is a long-standing institution at OERM.

Evan was the founder of the Western chapter of the Train Collector's Association (TCA) in 1954, as well as charter member #1 of the Toy Train Operating Society (TTOS) in 1966. He was well known in the Toy Train collector's field, and was doubtless responsible for introducing the hobby to many others. The collection has quite a variety of artifacts, some railroad related, others not. It's been constantly added to since its inception, and will no doubt continue to evolve in the years ahead. One of the more recently added displays are a magnificent collection of scratch-built O gauge trolley models donated by Bill and Betty Everett.
