You need to stop in sometime to see the magnificent and eclectic collections of Walter Elwood, former school Supervisor and teacher in the Amsterdam Public Schools system! He believed children needed to be exposed to the world. He traveled the world to collect artifacts to bring to the children at schools where he taught science. This museum has moved often but now has a large home at the old carpet factory in Amsterdam. Several other collections are under the same roof. Did you know Cabbage Patch Dolls were made in Amsterdam???
