Discover how company founder Gary Lowenthal (The Head Bean Hisself!) and wife Tina built the world’s most famous (kinda famous? soon-to-be famous?) bear company from the ground up!

Our trip down memory lane includes old family photos of both Gary and Tina’s families; a replica of Gary’s father’s butcher shop in New York City (where Gary learned business tricks and tips!); neat photos and memorabilia of Gary’s growin’ up years and experiences as a Peace Corps volunteer; displays of early Boyds duck decoys, Gnomes Homes, early plush and resin, and other stuff that made Boyds famous (infamous?!); and sections dedicated to our QVC shows, collectors’ club, and charitable activities.
