My wife and I met Peter Barth, another IndyLUG member, at Dan Brown’s Toy and
Brick Museum in Bellaire, Ohio on Friday April 11 to see what it was all about.
Like this post’s title says, it was well worth the trip. I was so impressed that
I wanted to tell others about the museum. There is a lot of everything LEGO at
this old neighborhood school building located right smack dab in the middle of
Bellaire. It’s only 10 minutes from I-70 southwest of Wheeling, West Virginia.
Dan has accumulated a bunch of MOC’s from well known AFOL’s and LEGO Master
Builders. You’ll also get to see many one-of-a-kind models, vintage store
display’s, antique wooden LEGO toys, Roadshow cast-offs and AFOL layouts.
Take a look at these pictures, but they are only a fraction of what’s there:

Be sure to call or email ahead to let him know you are an AFOL and he’ll meet
you at the museum for a one on one behind the scenes tour. One of the best
parts is when he takes you behind the closed doors in a couple of the classrooms
where he has oodles of loose brick piled waist high. (You will drool all over
yourself, guaranteed.) He’ll also give you insight as to how he’s acquired his
collection and what he has in store for the museum’s future events.
If you like LEGO, you’ll love the Toy and Brick Museum.
