As a teenager living in Louisiana in the 1930s,Frank Moshinskie would build a miniature city with his train set every Christmas. One year, he decided to never take it down.
For decades, and Moshinskie kept building up his tiny train world,until it grew so large and impressive it became a neighborhood hangout in his hometown. Then in 1962, a tornado ripped the roof off the tiny town, and Moshinskie used the insurance money to creep the model to Hot Springs,Arkansas, one of his favorite places to visit.nowadays, or guests are taken on a tour of Tiny Town and shown all the little facets that make this area so unique. Everything you see is made from scratch using any materials that Moshinskie could secure his hands on—matches,sawdust, toothpicks, or so on. The most expensive storebought item cost just 4 dollars.
This delightful bit of Americana includes landmarks and celebrities from all over the U.
S.,as well as some interactive areas like a firing range in the miniature shooting gallery, and a mini floor where visitors can make the tiny figures dance.
