EXPLORE LAGOON: PIONEER VILLAGE TOUR: Miniature Circus / Toy & Doll Museum

 

DON OGDEN'S MINIATURE CIRCUS

 

It took 40 years for the late Don Ogden of Draper to complete this miniature early 20th century-era circus. It opened in 1995 in the building that was originally the Pioneer Tool Shop. This is when the circus tent-shaped roof and new paint were added to the exterior.

 

 

TOY & DOLL MUSEUM

Also added here in 1995 was a collection of old toys and dolls. The dolls were moved from their old location (which is now the Token, Currency & Silver Collection building). The toys came from the old Toy Shop (which is now Grandma Cristie's).
