Tiny Town, Miniature park in Morrison, Colorado, US
Tiny Town is a miniature village near Morrison, Colorado, with more than 100 buildings constructed at 1/6 scale, plus a 15 in (381 mm) gauge miniature railway. George Turner, owner of Denver's Turner Moving & Storage and a friend of Buffalo Bill Cody, began it in 1915 for his daughter.
George Turner created the park in 1915 as a private project for his daughter. He opened it to the public in 1921 under the original name Turnerville.
George Turner named the site Turnerville after himself, and the name held until the railway arrived in 1939, when it became Tiny Town. The 1/6 scale buildings are arranged as a walkable small town rather than a single display case, and the 15 in (381 mm) gauge train still carries visitors along the edge of the grounds.
The miniature railway uses a 15-inch gauge track and runs through the park; visitors ride in open cars. The grounds sit beside Turkey Creek, so paths can be damp after rain. Picnic areas are available on site.
A narrow gauge railway runs through the entire grounds, allowing visitors to experience the miniature world from a train perspective. This transportation system is woven into the park's layout as an integral feature.
