Kiddie Land was started by my Great Uncle Grant Hicks and his wife Myrtle Hicks in I believe 1953. Most of the original rides were built by Grant including the ferris wheel which I rode when I was little. My Great Aunt passed away last week but I have wonderful pictures taken of Kiddie Land by my Great Aunt in it's early days. They sold it in 1961. My Great Uncle Grant built miniature trains at his residence in Nevada and gave rides to kids free in the community. I too have taken my kids to visit Kiddie Land to carry on the family heritage and hopefully my grandkids too will be able to visit.
