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.

After driving from Austin we stopped by at Harrys Tinaja in Alpine on a Tuesday night. A handful of people in the bar but after a few minutes we had a lively conversation going. Very friendly and cool little place worth a visit. We showed the owner Harry that he was mentioned in Lonely Planet which he was not aware of. He gave us some good tips on the road as well.
