Testimonials
In Their Words
Kassi Porter
Very beautiful & reasonably priced handmade jewelry. Better than some I've see. Of all the "trading posts" and "souvenir shops" this is the one I would stop at. They have many unique items.
Seth Lindsey
Exactly what is needed for a kitschy experience on the road. This place is full of treasures, from touristy junk to exquisite handmade jewelery, rugs & pottery. Restrooms are nice. Employees were very courteous & helpful
Vicki Cordova
I have driven several times between Arizona & New Mexico. I finally stopped. The ladies that greeted us were very friendly & kind. This was well worth the stop & the bonus was the very clean and beautiful restrooms. I will definitely be stopping again!
