Tinkertown
Tinkertown is in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It’s a collection of animated carvings that bring an Old West town to life through fun and humorous scenes. Some of the creations require a quarter to operate but most of them are worth it.
TinkertownIt 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.
