That's some good stuff.
Senior year a group of us headed out on a serious hunt for Midgetville. We thought we saw some extra low mailboxes...but that's about it. It's one for the ages...

the midgetville in virginia is in either oakton or vienna. its basically across the street from Thoreau middle school, in the neighborhood across the street from there. for directions from tysons, take 123 towards vienna and make a left at the intersection where Southern States used to be (its no a bistro and something else, jammin java and the safeway are at that stoplight) make a left at that stoplight and take the road until it ends. make a left when it ends, make your 3rd left and go to the end of the road, youll see the no trespassing signs, youre there. be careful, ive had 3 midgets come after me with rocks, take a dumpy car when you go and dont go too fast, youll wake them up. also, dont go during the day, if they see you, theyll jump infront of your car. good luck! and go slow, if you dont mess with them, they wont wake up and wont see you. BEST OF LUCK IN MIDGETVILLE

The directions below are correct. This is, in fact, Mdgetville, VA. The name of the road is Wedderburn Lane.

Alright kids, the Midgetville legend gets better. I was there many years ago, and can confirm a secluded cluster of seven creepy tiny houses on Wedderburn. I recently had a renewed interest to see it again since the whole thing may be torn down for new houses. I went back with a friend just last night, and sitting across the entrance to the cul de sac was a police cruiser. The cop was just sitting there in his car, motor running, lights off. There is no chance he was there to do anything but guard the midgets as there is literally nothing else on this street. Hmmm, what are they hiding in Midgetville? This consiracy goes to the top top levels!

In response to Greg, who throws a shoe at people? I can understand throwing something at a stalking coyote, but throwing a shoe at strangers? If I were gawking that badly at people, I'd want to keep my shoes on to actually run like hell away in embarrassment.

yup, midgitville exists allright. tkae the derections above, and you might see a couple of the houses from the public road. i snuk in the coldesac and saw a dozen small, kinda ghetto houses. maby about 6 feet tall. doornobs are low, patio furniture is tiny. it was a night, so i dident see any midgits :( i heard they throw pebbles at you, so BE WARNED

Hey Thomas...you're a dumbass!
First of all let's get something straight.
THERE ARE NO MIDGETS IN "THE VILLE"!!!
I'm 6'3" & I live there!
Everyone just grow the fuck up.
I know NOVA is boring, but god-damn go get laid instead of creeping around 100 year old homes.

So you list the web address but don't tell everyone what this is... NICE. I live in "Midgetville", and want to stop the myth. This is an article from the Washington Post about the area everyone calls Midgetville, and the true story behind it. The basic idea is that the family is tired of idiots like you stirring up trouble, and want to leave. Please spread a little TRUTH. There ARE NO MIDGETS! Let us enjoy our little area in peace!

I GREW UP ON LOCUST DRIVE, JUST UP THE STREET FROM WEDDERBURN LANE. LIVED THERE 24 YRS. SORRY .. NO MIDGETS. I HOPE MY DAD AND EVERYBODY BACK IN MY OLD HOOD WIN THE FIGHT V. THE DEVELOPER THAT WANTS TO BUILD 900 HOMES THERE. FAIRFAX COUNTY ALREADY HAS PLENTY OF HOMES. TO THE DEVELOPER, YOU CAN KISS MY ASS !!!

I live in Southern Virginia and I kinda believe the myth and then again I don't yea sure the houses look wierd but . . .can you imagine how many rumors can be made about towns with freaky names . . hey well geuss what Virginia also has a Lynchburg and Mechanicsville.
I know for a fact there are midget 'communes' however midgetville does not appear to be one of them. Best of luck to everyone.

Well damn, if we didn't bag 4 midgets there last night. We did only tag and release them so we could monitor their progress and migrations in the wild. They seemed healthy enough and when the tranqualizer wore off they stubled back into their warrens.

So what up hommies I got the low down on the Mig vil. It was built decades ago in order to house the gov't conspiracy of using midgets to drive bombs during WWII. Secretly though the midgets came up w/ their own conspiracy and came up w/ the land we refer to as migetville. The reason for all the hub bub is that it was the midgets cover to protect themselves, they secretly released info about midgetville to the foriegn press, so the Soviets would get wind of it and that the gov't would have to close up shop and the midgets could live in peace for generations to come.

Hey, me and my boyfreind and brother went to Midgetville last night, and we drove thru the culde sac, and all we saw was LITTLE tiny houses and patios. It was so cool, i was so scared that one of em would wake up and chase me out wit a RIFLE. I heard they got rifles and chase you and will even shoot you. So do not go to midgetville during the day time, because i would be scared to. I went at 3am ish. They were sound a sleep then. I didnt stay long, I was too afraid they would wake up, since it has a NO TResspassing sign, and NEIGHBORHOOD Watch.

Ok, you want the truth? I went to Midgetville last night. Not the one in VA but the one in PA, the truth is that theres a ton of these midget compounds (they orginated in WWII). Anyway, the one I went to last night is truly the best. I dont want to post directions or the name of the commune because that takes all the fun out of the midget hunt. However, if you really are a die hard little people lover and need to find the place in order to catch and tame a midget, I can help. I will give you clues to get to "midgetville", (not the real name). Pmaganas@yahoo.com
ps its well worth the trip... little houses, little stop signs, little gazebos, super little playgrounds for super little kids.... god i wanna go back right now
