Say Goodbye to the World’s Greatest Indoor Miniature Village Roadside America has been open since 1953, delighting visitors with its model of a Pennsylvania town frozen in time and full of little cars and trains. But the popular roadside attraction couldn’t survive the pandemic. David Kidd, Photojournalist and Storyteller | January 20, 2021 | Features
The smallest town in Pennsylvania is being broken up and sold at auction, another victim of the coronavirus and changing times. Billed as the “World’s Greatest Indoor Miniature Village,” Roadside America is closing its doors after 67 years in the same location. The 8,000-square-foot nostalgic representation of the Pennsylvania countryside was created by self-taught model maker Laurence Gieringer. He drew his inspiration from seeing the city of Reading from the top of a nearby mountain as a nine-year-old in 1903.
