Just in time for the holidays, the South Carolina State Museum’s newest mini-exhibition is perfect for anyone who’s a kid at heart.

On display now through Jan. 8, “Let’s Play! Timeless 20th Century Toys” showcases over a dozen toys from the 1960s, 70s + 80s — even some dating as far back as the 1800s.

Fun fact: Visitors can even find a toy wooden truck made in the 1940s right here in Cola by The Congaree Toy Co.
