Go back in history and visit the Old West at the Museum of Miniatures now relocated in Nanton, Alberta. See covered wagons on the move, tour native villages and an active western town all on a 1/12 scale. Tableaus feature logging, farming, a circus, African jungle animals and more. We have loads of pictures, sculptures, artifacts, Indian carvings and paintings, along with over 160 authentic top quality 1/24 scale model cars and trucks. Plus, we are wheelchair friendly and have a wonderful gift shop!


"Great things come in small packages at the Museum of Miniatures, a new Nanton tourist attraction that celebrated its grand opening on April 30...Formerly operating the museum in Cardston, the latest exhibit took seven years for the Whittmans to complete and their efforts have paid off with a spectacular recreation of the Old West."
Todd Curran, Contributor, The Nanton News, May 4, 2011.

"Once word gets out about the intricate displays which Roy Wittman has built, it won’t be long before tours through this diverse attraction are backed up out the door."
Geneva Macgillivray, Nanton Review, May 4 to May 17, 2011 Volume 7, Issue 15.

"Tiny idea a grand plan for couple...attention to detail is evident everywhere..."
