Roadside America, Pennsylvania

A large miniature landscape of villages and scenes, with many mechanical parts, model railways, hills and roads. Partly a stylized and idealized version of the typical landscape of Pennsylvania, with significant historical buildings modeled as well. Much of the model was built in the 1920s and 1930's, though it has been updated and expanded over the decades. It was built by the Gieringer Brothers, and is located in a building devoted to its display, with surrounding walkways and viewing platforms. A classic roadside attraction of the highest caliber, and a remarkable work of model building.
