If you need it anything hardware related, a cute knickknack, gold panning items or a shirt this is the place to visit! A fun place to go into to look around! Multiple employees to help check out or find what you need

Did you know the oldest hardware store west of the Mississippi is in the town of Placerville, CA? Well now you do! It is right on Main Street and is in the same building since 1852. It is an actual hardware store. Yup, step right in to purchase a hammer, light switch, plunger, sprinkler heads, ant bait, and kitchen utensils ... all the practical hardware stuff. Plus they sell gold pans, gifts, and souvenirs (the fun and impractical) and they have a couple of pressed penny machines. The place is packed ceiling to floor with merchandise. The staff are friendly and get this... knowledgeable. Got a plumbing issue, question about using a wood screw vs nail.... they have folks that can assist. As you walk around, check out the original hardwood floors, wood counter, brick wall, rolling wall ladder, and wood filing drawers behind the counter. They are all original. Here is a bit of history, the building was built in 1850. The hardware store opened in 1852. Through the years until to the present day, it has always been a functioning hardware store serving the local community. Thus they have the distinction of being the oldest operating hardware store west of the Mississippi.

Lots of fun stuff inside.

This is such a fun place to visit and wander through! My dad used to visit this area but now he's in Las Vegas. When he found out we were coming through, he asked us to get some of their great wire fly swatters. We picked up four them. That should hold him for a while. We got a few other items as well. Everyone here was very friendly and helpful!

Tshirt, magnet and postcards

First time visiting Placerville and I was in awe when I saw this hardware store. The oldest hardware store West of the Mississippi? Wow that's amazing! I wish I was able to take more pictures inside but they did not allow it. They literally have any and everything you can think of. We love history so of course hubby and I were talking to one of the workers. She was very nice and informative about this historical place. It's a True Value store so everything was pretty reasonably priced.

Best and and oldest hardware store in town.

Placerville True Value is the best as usual. They always have what I need and the staff is wonderful. Don was so helpful with my issue I had with my ax handle that had an accident. That's how you keep customers coming back... Thanks Don for your Robert H

The Oldest Hardware Store West of the Mississippi! Located in historic district of Placerville, this hardware store has been the longest, continuously operated hardware store west of the Mississippi (since 1852). The building itself is a beautiful old brick building. Inside you will find some little thing for everybody, whether a tool for a serious handyman or a souvenir for a friend at the end of your visit. The people running the store are very friendly and helpful. It is a must stop even for a few minutes if you are visiting the town.

this place has everything! loved this store, visiting from Massachusetts

If I could find any excuse to stop on here I would. They are always helpful and sometimes have unique tools Home Depot doesn't carry

6/5/2025: I needed purchasing H2O filters for the Samsung French Door Refrigerator I purchased in…read moreJuly 2017. I disappointingly made the mistake purchasing a plethora of an off-brand Samsung H2O filters from Amazon. Aside, I had the Samsung French Door Refrigerator serviced in August 2024: The Samsung Service Tech bluntly stated the off-brand Samsung H2O filters doesn't efficiently filter the H2O whereas, the Home Depot Appliance Dude stated Samsung's Service Tech's Samsung H2O filters recommendations are just mere fabrications of a fabricated POV in order, racking up making more dough off me! Hey~I'm not a clueless fool, ya know--I'm not buying their money-scheming ploys . . . Ya get my drift--you know what I mean, eh? Anyway, I seriously can't differentiate between the quality and performance between the OEM Samsung H2O filters verses the off-brand Samsung H2O refrigerator filters. To my utter surprise, the Appliance Dude informed me Home Depot sells TWO Samsung H2O filters in a package for $59.00 verses OEM Samsung H2O filters sells only ONE in a package for $49.00. Therefore, I opted purchasing Home Depot's TWO Samsung H2O filters in a package for $59.00, i.e., obtaining a bargain price bang for my hard-earned moola is undoubtedly ingrained within my DNA and RNA Coding~lol. Moreover, I bought more drain cleaner for my sinks and some fire starters for camping--that's all I bought which the total out the door was egregiously expensive nonetheless!
