This oldie but goodie opened way back in 1953.  Through the years Talbot's Toyland has grown even bigger, and now it continues to offer high quality toys and hobby supplies displayed in spacious aisles.  Many items are unique, and special sections are devoted to dolls, hobbies, and infant toys.  Customer service is a hallmark, and the knowledgeable sales staff can assist with finding the perfect gift.  But now you really must hurry on in, because after 66 years in business this local institution is closing by mid-February 2020.  Note just in:  Store is closing at end of January, and is currently open only Wednesday through Sunday.

  1. Not Talbots! I grew up going there and more recently I've taken my grandchildren. The last great toy store.
