Invention and Introduction
Lincoln Logs, a cherished toy, were created by John Lloyd Wright in 1916. The son of architect Frank Lloyd Wright, John drew inspiration from log cabin designs he encountered during his travels. He crafted these interlocking wooden blocks to simulate log cabin construction.
Initially produced by Playthings Manufacturing Company, which later merged with Hasbro, Lincoln Logs gained popularity for their straightforward design and educational benefits. Children could build and recreate structures based on fundamental construction principles.
