Old Cottonwood sure has been blessed by George and Linda and their wonderful store the Tin Turtle.
The store is a true touch of class. George and Linda have been collecting and involved in their passion of old Americana for 54 years.
When you first walk into their store you will be greeted by enthusiasm and a down home friendliness. The place often smells of a potpourri, which somehow makes the old brick building feel warm and classy.
The store is only open for 3 or 4 days a week, as the Owners are doing the business for their passion it seems.
I have been in several times and bought some very collectible items for birthdays, my Anniversary and just for Me, ha. I have learned some things from them regarding Bauer ware ( very colorful cool plates from old Los Angeles) to fun and very collectible cookie jars etc.,
The place is festooned for every holiday, so it's constantly changing and a nice surprise.
The Tin Turtle is in the original Shuman Price Mercantile building on Main Street.
The building was originally a wood structure and then was rebuilt in brick in 1898. It's a beautiful old Western building with great Cottonwood history. It's been occupied by all kinds of businesses, however George and Linda have really brought some real downhome class and charm to this original old place.
Stop in and see them, I think you'll feel good if you like Our West and Americana.
