Estes Motel: 1950 Mini-Town

The Estes Motel and several other vintage Art Moderne/Deco buildings now stand along a fake main street in a little public park. Take a stroll and imagine what it was like to be on the road circa 1950.

Estes Motel: 1950 Mini-Town

Visited in May 2024. One of the buildings is under construction for the next year. The visitor center has hours listed, but it's in a public park so it's open any time to walk through and see all the cool buildings. The park is beautiful and vast, with a lovely lake with a little bird island in the center and dock. It's just gorgeous out there to go for a nice walk. Definitely recommend!
