J.B. Weisenfels has lived in rural Arkansas for three decades. She is a writer, a mom, and a graduate student. She is also an avid collector of tacky fish whatnots, slightly chipped teapots, and other old things. In her spare time she enjoys driving to the nearest creek to sit a while. If you were to visit her, she'd try to feed you cornbread.
If you’re looking for a place where you can feel like a kid again, look no further than Tiny Town. Okay, I know Tiny Town sounds like a PBS Kids program, but it’s not. It’s a store located in Hot Springs, and everything there is literally tiny. There’s no better place to go if you’d like to feel like an all-powerful giant while you have a big time giggling like a little kid.
Tiny Town becomes even more impressive when you consider how it was made. Of all the structures, figures, and bits of scenery you’ll see at Tiny Town, 95% were hand made by the owners out of simple materials.
You can run the trains yourself and watch them wind through the expanse of tiny communities and tiny farms, past tiny trees and tiny people, through tiny tunnels.
Whether you’re there to feel like you’re a giant in a tiny world, to run the trains, or simply to enjoy the impressive, detailed work put into the scenes, you’re sure to have a big time at Tiny Town.
There’s nothing like seeing the itty bitty town come to life right before your eyes—tiny lights and tiny moving parts make Tiny Town an experience like no other.
