Bring the whole family to Free Days at the Museum. Occurring on every second Sunday of the month, Free Days provide greater access to The National Museum of Toys and Miniatures’ vast and awe-inspiring collections for visitors near and far.

All attendees are welcome to explore the Museum at no charge!

Enjoy the sights and smells of history in the making! See live demonstrations of hearth cooking, as well as food preservation and preparation techniques from the early 1800s. Walk through our heirloom garden on one of our garden tours to see how fruits and vegetables have changed over time.  Learn how the soldiers and civilians of Fort Osage preserved food for the long winter and take home recipe cards for some of our favorite historic foods. This is a day of fun for the whole family with music, games, period crafts and more!

Step back in time and savor the sweet tradition of gathering for ice cream and live music. Join us at the replica bandstand (gazebo) — where early Lenexans once came together for cool treats and toe-tapping tunes. Blue Bell Creameries will provide a variety of ice cream flavors to choose from and Rick McClellan will serve up a variety of tunes.

Hosted by the Legler Barn Museum & Depot, this event is a nod to our City’s past, where friends and neighbors met to enjoy a summer evening with a scoop. Bring your family, friends and your sweet tooth.

Don’t forget your blankets and lawn chairs.
