The typical American home is around 2600 square feet, while the typical small or tiny house is around 100-400 square feet. Tiny Houses come in all shapes, sizes and forms but they focus on smaller spaces and simplified living. People are joining this movement for many reasons, but the most popular reasons are because of environmental concerns, financial concerns and seeking more time and freedom.
This weekend, as part of Homearam, the Colorado Springs based Tiny House Jamboree™ will have a few of these little dwellings be on display at the Hook Estate. Four professional Tiny House builders will be opening their homes for tiny tours and speaking throughout the weekend about the ins and outs of living small.
The 1929 Hook Estate’s 12,000 square foot mansion will also be conducting live demonstrations and tours with home preservation seminars and vendors. The entire event is family friendly and will allow attendees to experience, first-hand, Tiny House and historic living. You’ll find the Hook Estate at 1231 Hook Estate Dr in Dayton.

Lisa Grigsby, did you have anything to do with this event? I was extremely disappointed to only find 1.5 tiny houses at this event, and am especially chagrinned that I paid real money to be admitted. I feel tricked and misled. I was really looking forward to this event too. Major bummer. Can I get my money back, please?
