   EDITOR REVIEW:

Over 40 years of carving and collecting have produced Ross J. Ward's Tinkertown. The folk art museum began with two main attractions: a carved wooden miniature three-ring circus that Ward created as a teenager, and a diminutive turn-of-the-century Western town he created in the 1960s. Today, those original animated displays are housed in a 22-room building, the walls of which are constructed with over 50,000 glass bottles. A variety of Ward's other collections are also on display – from wedding cake couples to Western memorabilia to a 35-foot antique sailboat. Don't miss the gift shop – it's jam-packed with all sorts of wacky, wonderful stuff, and they ship worldwide!
