Handcrafted goods made by regional artists
About the gift shop
Discover something special in the gift shop!
The Museum’s gift shop brings together two things we love: unique, handmade treasures and the talented local artists who create them.
- Find something one of a kind. Discover handmade gifts, art, and crafts you won’t find just anywhere.
- Shop local, support creativity. Our shop gives local artists and craftspeople a place to sell their work and share their talents with the community.
Whether you’re shopping for yourself or someone special, you’ll find something meaningful while supporting local creativity.
What you can expect to find:
- Work by local and regional artists,
- Handmade or artisan goods, and
- Items that have a meaningful connection to local traditions, stories, or cultural practices.
- New items every few weeks
