Grandma Prisbrey's Bottle Village

            Built: 1956 - 1972
"I enjoyed it. I never thought of it as work. I was just having a good time."

In 1956 at the age of 61, Tressa "Grandma" Prisbrey started building the Bottle Village as a place to display her pencil collection. When finished in 1965, the Village included 20 sculptures and 13 buildings. Grandma Prisbrey died in 1988. 

In 1996, Grandma Prisbrey's Bottle Village was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It's now run by Preserve Bottle Village (PBV), a private non-profit organization.
