Need something to do this summer? Visit the Tinker Town Museum

It took Ross Ward over 40 years to carve, collect, and lovingly construct what is now Tinkertown Museum. His miniature wood-carved figures were first part of a traveling exhibit, driven to county fairs and carnivals in the 1960s and ’70s. Today over 50,000 glass bottles form rambling walls that surround a 22-room museum. Wagon wheels, old fashioned store fronts, and wacky western memorabilia make Tinkertown’s exterior as much as a museum as the wonders within. Funny, amazing man made items put together for our amusement.

Ever a work in progress, Tinkertown is ready to inspire your imagination and awaken your creative spirit.

Hours: 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 pm Everyday Last admission at 5:30 pm
