The National Farm Toy Museum is a museum specializes in preserving and displaying scale models, replicas, and toys based on farm equipment. The museum has over 30,000 guests each year and about 30,000 farm toys.

Thanks in part to the museum, but also to the fact that three farm toy companies are located in Dyersville, the city is known as the Farm Toy Capital of the World.

The National Farm Museum was founded in 1986; the founding of the museum arose from a discussion between Dave Bell and Claire Scheibe about needing a bigger space for the coming National Farm Toy Shows.
