*PERMANTLY CLOSED*
Roadside America is the world's greatest miniature village featuring beautifully detailed buildings, moving trains, flowing waterways, and much more! The exhibit spans more than two hundred years of history and over 6,000 square feet in scale. Created entirely by one man, the beautiful architecture and attention to detail paid to each handcrafted building is enough to captivate

even the biggest skeptic. Aside from the countless parked trains filling packed train yards, the display features 9 fully operational railroads. Visitors can control 3 of these railroads with the press of a button! Train enthusiasts will enjoy watching the various O-Guage trains and trolleys wiz through the vast miniature landscape. Throughout the display, scattered push buttons allow visitors to control a plethora of animations that bring the village to life. Included on these push buttons are 3 fully operational trolleys, a full circus parade, an operating mine shaft, and so much more! Flowing waterways, fantastic hilltop fountains, and a huge canyon waterfall are just a few of the many sites to see at Roadside America. As night falls over the display (every 30 minutes) and the village's miniature inhabitants go to sleep; the landscape comes alive with street lights aglow, trains and trolleys rushing around all through the night, and a plane circling the display from above in a beautiful night pageant.
