Mission Statement

The Official Marx Toy Museum of Glen Dale, West Virginia is owned and operated by Francis Turner and displays a portion of his personal collection. Francis has been collecting Marx for over 20 years. In 1998, the dream to create a museum dedicated to Marx took its first step with the purchase of a 1950's grocery store building in Moundsville, West Virginia. In 2000, the museum officially opened to the public.
