The Cat’s Meow Village Company of Wooster, Ohio

The Cat’s Meow Village is a small company founded in Wooster, Ohio, in 1982 from one simple wooden house Faline cut on her grandfather’s saw in the loft of the hog barn. Thirty-five years later, Jones and her crew continue crafting “little wooden buildings” of local, national, and international landmarks that spark memories and kindle smiles on the faces of “real-life adventurers” like you.

Additional Information

The New Jersey Historical Village was created by Mr. Local History, affiliated with the T3 Consortium, and then licensed to various organizations for fundraising and promotional activities.
