Tiny Town

This shop was incredible! 90 years of history all contained in one miniature town! Our 9 year old daughter loved it, and we did too. The owner (the son of the gentleman who spent his life building this town) clearly loved his work and was devoted to it. We are so glad we were able to see this place, definitely one of the types of visits that is unique and worth your time.

Oh we had to go. Momma said it would be corney and cute. It was. I loved the period dress actors/employees who despite saying the same corney jokes over and over still had a sense of humor. I also was surprised at the amount of city information and history my boys absorbed. They kinda got into it after a few minutes, especially when they learned of the secrets hidden beneath our feet. Be sure to set aside an hour to 90 minutes for the tour and wait before in the hat shop.
