The Tinkertown Museum is a wonderland that Fox News voted the best small Museum in America in 2010. It took 40 years to create and boasts a fantastic collection of unique exhibits. Visitors can be amazed by the 35-foot wooden sailboat that sailed around the world for ten years, the animations of a little western town, and circus performers. As you explore the winding hallways filled with eccentric collections of Americana, including antique tools, bullet pencils, and wedding cake couples, you can enjoy entertainment provided by Otto, the one-person band, and Esmerelda, the Fortune Teller. Otto can play a tune for you, while Esmerelda can predict your future with just a quarter. Tinkertown Museum is still growing and evolving, always ready to inspire your imagination and awaken your creative spirit.
