Weeping Water Miniatures Display: Helen Burton


OCBMG member Helen Burton currently has some miniatures on display in Weeping Water, Nebraska. Helen joined OCBMG in 2015, but her love of miniatures began back in her childhood in Chicago. Helen fell in love with the Thorne Rooms and Colleen Moore's Fairy Castle. Who can blame her?


I asked Helen to tell us a bit about the miniatures in the window. She said the travel trailer was her first kit and was quite the challenge. The general store in the fish tank is a memory of a family store. The rest are simply fun ideas: a hat store in a hat box, and a library in a book:


Here is the information about where to see Helen's miniatures, which will be on display through the end of April:

Memory Lane Museum & Soda Fountain
215 W. Eldora
Weeping Water, NE 68463

Thank you to Helen for sharing your miniatures in this way!!
