Urban Legend of Midgetville
< on 8/7/2008 5:13 AM >

I have no idea how many people knew of this wonderful place, but I wanted to share some of the good memories of Midgetville; an Urban Legend, before it was sadly destroyed earlier this year to make room for the, "Wedderburn Estates." I took these photos for a photo project for school.

*Due to issues with the image size (only 100k?? what??), I will be providing my link to the whole set on flickr



If anyone knows of any other awesome abandoned sites in the DC area I would love to learn of them!

If you're in the DC area there is a "small folks town" outside of Vienna for the midgets that would spend the winter in Vienna with Barnum and Bailey. I know a few of my older friends went there when it was operational and got shot with pellets by the security guard. I'm fairly sure some of it is still around for those still interested.


Nevermind, we were talking about the same place and now its gone :/

Nothing remains now.
It gained some popularity in the Weird VA book.

Cool set!


Thank you!!

Nothing much really, besides silly tales about how midgets would come out of their houses with shotguns if you trespassed. Bunch of baloney of course, Never even saw a single dwarf there.

heres a interesting site about it:
