A remarkable folk art environment featuring thirty-five sculptural structures (including 15 bottle houses) built entirely from discarded materials, with walls crafted from tens of thousands of glass bottles collected from local dumps. Created over nearly 30 years by self-taught artist Tressa “Grandma” Prisbrey (1896–1988) starting at age 60, in 1956, the site showcases architectural ingenuity and artistic vision through its colorful bottle-walled buildings, mosaic pathways decorated with found objects, and whimsical features.
This one-of-a-kind folk art landmark, one of the earliest and most significant women-made art environments in the United States, offers guided tours where visitors can experience Prisbrey's creative reuse of everyday materials and her humorous, resourceful approach to architecture and environmental art.
