Wolverine, Michigan: Gnome Village
Ten small (but not tiny) buildings with fairytale architecture and impossible rooflines on an overgrown lot. A neighbor built them and then grew too old to maintain them. Inhabited by several on-site gnome statues.

We found ten small gnome houses and a church. The property is a little overgrown but the structures are amazing. They're about 20 feet from the roadway and accessible, but watch out for thistles; wear long pants.
One of the homes was unlocked and it looked as if visitors had left trinkets or rocks with sayings on them regarding loved ones. The neighbors were very friendly and told us about the owner and builder being elderly and unable to care for the property, but people still love to stop by and see it.
