Museum History
The Johnny Gruelle Raggedy Ann &
Andy Museum opened to the public in May of 1999, in Arcola, Illinois. We
are the only officially licensed Raggedy Ann & Andy museum in the world!
The mission of the Johnny Gruelle Raggedy Ann and Andy Museum is to
preserve the life and times of the man who created the storybook
characters, and to promote the inspiration, values, and spirit of
imagination that has made them an American institution for so many
years.
