The internet has pretty much debunked this, but have any of you heard of a town called Tiny Town, supposedly an entire town of little people?

OK, I've tried to post a comment twice but it just won't process so I hope this isn't duplicated. Anyway, I live in Cincinnati and there is supposed to be a community here built for midgets. It's nowhere near Buffalo Ridge (though that road is said to be haunted BTW) and it's nowhere near Rumpke Dump - BR & RD are are miles apart. This community is said to be in Butler County and my ex-husband swears he has been there to see it personally but years ago. I'll see what else I can find out about it. If anyone's interested I'll try to write more but my system isn't cooperating right now!

Is there a village of retired circus midgets in greater Cincinnati? A lot of people seem to think the answer is yes--or was at one time.

This is one legend I've heard a lot about over the past couple of years. Apparently it's a story that's been making the rounds in Cincy for many decades. The idea is that there is/was a small community of "little people" deep in the woods outside the city. It's most often referred to as Tiny Town, but I've also heard it called Munchkinville or Munchkinland. Some people say the midgets have little tiny houses, but I don't think I believe that one. I also don't believe that you can hear circus music when you get near the houses, which is a detail I heard. Others report that if you approach their homes they will come out and throw rocks at your car until you go away.

The Buffalo Ridge region on Cincinnati's west side is supposed to be the home of Tiny Town. It is surprising that such a dense, hilly area exists inside Hamilton County. We made our trip in the late summer of 2001, finding nothing more than an ordinary country road.

So...where is Tiny Town? Does it even exist? Did a couple of retired circus midgets actually live out here years ago and unwittingly foster these bizarre legends? One clue comes from the fact that I've run across mentions of "Tiny Towns" in other states. It's possible that such things exist all over the country, but it's also possible that it's just a migrating legend that kids like to tell. At any rate, we didn't come across any, and if I had I wouldn't have known what to do. It would seem a little cruel to go take pictures of them.

Actually, as it turns out, my Tiny Town expedition was in vain for a number of reasons. First of all, I was in the wrong place; the "real" Tiny Town is apparently located not far from Buffalo Ridge, behind the Rumpke Dump. Secondly, the legend, like so many others, is based on willful misinterpretation and embellishment. The Cincinnati Post gives the lowdown on the real story in the following article.

my TV shorted out the night that special was on.

I visited munchkinville approximately 25 years ago and can confirm it did exist. I didn't see midgets but I did see little buidling and a town build to accomodate small people. It was all lit up with christmas like lights strung around the village and music was playing. I can't say it still exists today but I know what I saw. :-)

Never heard of it except something related to Lionel Trains?

So it is real or not based on the internet? Did you try Snopes?

theres a such place yes but idk if there is any little people there ive been there at night its just freaky to go that late but its not haunted or anything that i know of

Munchkin Land is on Struble Rd, the old entrance to Rumpke dump. You'll pass it on your left. Keeping going to the bottom.
It is a real place. It exists. Follow my directions and you'll find it too.
