Tired of visiting towns and only finding 'made in China' items? Alpine has unusual artists and crafts people who make and sell fine items in this gallery. I only buy my jewelry from here as I love one of a kind pieces and this gallery has it all from beautiful artwork to hang on your walls to one of a kind things to wear or use around the house - like handcrafted and signed mugs, plates etc. The artists who work the gallery are also very personable and knowledgable about what is in the gallery and also about what is in and around town. Stop in and visit, you will be delighted at what you find here.

This part of Texas has its own special kind of beauty, and the local artists display their talents at this fine art store, which could also be termed a museum as many beautiful art works are on display here. On the main highway, across the street from the Amtrak deport, there is free parking available nearby.

Unusual museum devoted to one woman's life and the struggle to eke out a living in the rugged West.
Reviewed By VWSurber - Missouri City, United States
This review is mainly just to let people know Hallie's Hall of Fame is still there and open, since the facebook page isn't updated and the last review here was two years ago. Go to the Stillwill Store and ask for the key. They'll ask you to turn the lights off and lock back up when you leave. My family wasn't interested, but they indulged me a side trip. Very worthwhile and fascinating to me! Reading Hallie's books is what made me want to visit the Big Bend area. I loved seeing her things and photographs of people mentioned in her stories. I very much doubt the people running the place care about tripadvisor reviews, but just in case...Thanks for keeping the Hall of Fame open for tourists like myself!
