Discover more about Tiny Town

Step into a world of enchantment at Tiny Town, a beloved Hot Springs attraction that has been delighting visitors for decades. This meticulously crafted miniature town showcases iconic landmarks and everyday scenes from across 22 states, all built with incredible detail and a touch of whimsy. Founded in the 1930s by Frank Moshinskie as a Christmas tree display, Tiny Town evolved into a sprawling exhibit reflecting his passion and creativity. After a tornado damaged the original display in Louisiana, Moshinskie moved it to Hot Springs in 1962, where it continues to grow and captivate. Today, his son carries on the legacy, offering tours and sharing the stories behind each creation. What makes Tiny Town truly special is its construction from recycled materials. Bottle caps, puzzle pieces, tin cans, and sawdust are transformed into miniature buildings, trees, and landscapes. The interactive model trains wind through the displays, passing by Niagara Falls, Mount Rushmore, and the Colorado Rockies. Animated figures add life to the scenes, creating a dynamic and engaging experience for visitors of all ages. Tiny Town is more than just a collection of miniatures; it's a testament to the power of imagination and the beauty of handmade art. It's a place where visitors can marvel at the craftsmanship, appreciate the attention to detail, and rediscover the joy of simple pleasures.
