“This shop has a lot of interesting things and a wide variety too. We had been looking for a "camping flag" on this day and had found a couple we almost bought elsewhere. But it was here we found the one that we liked the best so far. It simply said, "Happy Campers" with a picture of a little RV. The flag was $18 which is comparable to the other shops and the black iron flag pole/stand was $10, the same as everyone else. So we thought it was a good deal. The cashier was super friendly and offered to take my trash and throw it away for me which was kind of him.”
“This is my favorite store in Nashville. I got my favorite purse here. I found some awesome jeans too. Shelly is amazing and sweet. Very kind to me and my son! Cya soon!”
“We had a blast at the Copperhead Creek gem mine! We all love rocks so we got mega bags and super bags and large bags and mined for gems in their sluice outside of the store. It was a super special day, my son asked his girlfriend to marry him, she said yes! We are all so excited and happy! You can find coupons around town to get a few dollars off of the bags. Great place to visit when you are in Nashville!”
“Visited back in June and love the range of fine craftsmanship items throughout the shop. My wife and I were treated very well. Didn’t make a purchase that day but saw several items that we would love to own one day. I’m writing this review now because I just checked out the website again and saw that I could leave a review. We hope to make it back to Nashville and Trilogy again soon.”
“Great shop in the cute town of Nashville, IN. If you are looking for a unique gift this may be your place. Bought a couple cute gifts for Christmas. If you purchase $20 or more you get 10% off - or at least that was offered when we visited.”
“I love this store, but my husband sent our daughter to pick out some turquoise jewelry for me as a surprise gift. The sales lady asked my daughter "if she could afford it ",before she would go in the back to bring out more jewelry that fit the description of what I like. She bought a cuff and a ring in turquoise for me. May be taking my business elsewhere, that's SO RUDE!”
“I love this store! Beautiful heirloom pieces! I get so many compliments on my jewelry. THANK YOU ALBERT! Your knowledge and passion show in every square inch of your store!”
“The Totem Post is, quite simply, a Nashville, Indiana icon. It first opened in 1952 and was one of only five shops in town. It is still in the family of founding owners Bill and Marielle Jockey as their daughter now owns it. Open year-round, The Totem Post offers authentic Native American jewelry, crafts, moccasins, knives, ethnic gifts, silver, and copper jewelry. The Totem Post folks are without fail friendly and I'm pleased to report that the shop itself is surprisingly wheelchair friendly (not always true in Nashville). A lot of the items at The Totem Post have a sense of spirituality to them and the times I've visited it has felt like a bit of a respite to even enter the establishment. The store has a bit of a fun origin story. The Jockeys were dancers on the SS. Uruguay who visited family in Indianapolis. During the visit, they were taken to Nashville, Indiana. Not long after, the leathercraft establishment went up for sale - The Jockeys moved forward and bought the place and quickly began establishing themselves among Native American and South American communities so they could carry high quality yet affordable items. While Nashville has certainly grown larger than those five shops from 1952, The Totem Post remains a local favorite and a tourist destination. I seldom, if ever, visit Nashville without a stop here.”
“Even though I didn't personally buy anything I still very much liked my visit and looking at all the beautiful pieces. The worker, Joe, was super kind, helpful and patient with me. Great little shop.”
