The Borough of Hollidaysburg is proud to be the home of the Slinky toy. The Slinky has been continuously manufactured in Hollidaysburg since the 1960s. To celebrate its unique place in American toy history, the Borough developed a partnership with Just Play (Slinky’s corporate owner) and the James family (the Slinky founders) to promote the local history of the Slinky, and its prominent place in American culture.

The Slinky Center offers information about the Slinky’s development, from accidental toy invention to its status as an iconic piece of American childhood, along with rotating displays of original Slinky toys. The Slinky Center also offers Slinky merchandise for sale, proceeds from which benefit the Slinky Center.
