Miffytown

You don’t have to travel to Miffy’s home country of the Netherlands to interact with the lovable storybook character. Also known as “nijntje,” a derivative of the Dutch word for “little bunny,” the fictional rabbit was created by artist Dick Bruna in 1955. Her adventures have been documented in over 30 books, often detailing first-time experiences for children like having a sleepover or riding a bike. 

In 2023, Jackie Philippo-Nagy opened Miffytown as a partnership between her family in the Netherlands and Miffy’s owners. The colorful, interactive and educational destination in Williamstown, Kentucky, introduces American families to Miffy and features a house for imaginary play, crafts, coloring books and bulb- and seed-planting demonstrations. 

Before you leave, stop by the gift shop to pick up plush, keychains, stickers, housewares and paper goods, all featuring Miffy. Plus, keep an eye on Miffytown’s social media to see when Miffy herself will make an appearance. 141 N. Main St., Williamstown, Kentucky 41097, 859/910-9511, miffytown.com
