A retired gentleman named Dmytro Szylak, who came to Hamtramck from the Ukraine right after WWII, put Hamtramck Disneyland together. It took him from 1997 or so until 1999 to put it all up. I came by here to snap a couple more pix and realized, OOPS!! FORGOT THE DAMN CAMERA!! Mr. Szylak and his wife came out and gave me a tour. I could have gotten some great pix from the backyard looking out. Several of the displays are wired-up and move when he flicks a switch. He also has lights and music wired-up.
