There was never a King Kong in the Old West movie, but if there ever is, Tiny Town would make a solid location. The owner of a moving company, George Turner built a 1/6 scale model of a Western town for his daughter in 1915 and opened it to the public in 1920. Ravaged by the elements, Tiny Town was on the verge of becoming Tiny Ghetto in the 1980s and a local group formed to fix it up (including the miniature railroad), maintain it, and build more tiny structures, including several storefront-lined city blocks, a Dr. Seuss-style house, and a 1/6-scale Coney Island, a tribute to the real thing in Bailey .
