Since 2009, over 250,000 visitors have immersed themselves in the spirit of imagination and whimsy that comes from visiting at least two dozen pint-sized installations across the Museum’s campus on a perfect autumn day. The annual Wee Faerie Village is a beloved seasonal tradition for all ages.

A walking trail of faerie-sized creations takes visitors on an adventure through a different themed environment each year. Teams of local artists make their installations from scratch, often working with natural and found materials to evoke the Museum’s beautiful landscape. Upon check-in, visitors receive a map that guides them to each house’s location, tells the story of the faeries who live there, and invites close looking for a special hidden object.
