In 2010, Francis Turner and his family received the encourage and support to finally develop the Marx Toy Museum into a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. For nearly 14 months, Francis Turner and the newly established MTM Board of Directors developed the Marx Toy Museum organization. In June 2011, the Marx Toy Museum was officially approved!!!

In July 2011, the Marx Toy Museum assumed operation of "The Official Marx Toy Museum of Glen Dale, West Virginia".  The operation of the Marx Toy Museum as a non-profit organization was the next step in Mr. Turner's dream of creating a museum dedicated to preserving the history of Marx toys, Louis Marx the man, his company, and the many factory workers who produced toys for generations of children. 

As a public charity, the Marx Toy Museum exists under the direction of a Board of Directors and the support of the local, nostalgic, and collectors community who recognize the importance of preserving the history of Marx.
