The craftsmanship is amazing and the prices are a bargain. We purchased beautiful jewelry, amazing leather goods, lovely hand drawn cards, artistic horse hitch keychains, and the most detailed leather pieces I've ever seen. If you can't make it in, you can call and order items. The sales associate was knowledgeable about every item, art, and the work that goes into the pieces. We will go back again and I recommend it to anyone in the area.

Stopped in for gas and stayed the night, this was one of the few places open when we were getting ready to leave so I popped in.Didn't regret it. This place is packed to the brim with creative and quality products made by inmates of the local correctional facility. Spoke with the man running the place- he doesn't do any of the pricing, the inmates do- all he does is enter in their prices and add a barcode and the inmate will receive 75% of the sale. A solid way for inmates to pass the time, build productive skills, and make some money.They have paintings, drawings, crochet and stuffed animals and hats. Leather products like bracelets, necklaces, wallets, bags, hats, sheathes, key fobs, bridles, belts, and rattles.I'm honestly stunned at the craftsmanship on display here. Just goes to show that even if you have a dark past you can still make something beautiful.

As a former inmate I was especially interested in seeing the place where many of my handmade leather items had been sold years before. The prison hobby shop offers items you won't find anywhere else. The hitched horsehair products are exquisite and reasonably priced. Untold hours go into these items. You are not paying the inmates for their time or labor. That would be impossible. You are telling the inmates you believe in their ability to produce something positive despite their negative background. I hope you stop in when you are in the area. You will be treated with respect and find the perfect gift for yourself or that special someone.

Very neat shop. I could have spent hours looking at all the talent in there. Lots and lots of variety especially with beadwork, leather work and horsehair items.

This store sells exclusively items made by prisoners. We were told 75% of the sale goes to the prisoner who made the item. Lots of leather and beaded items as well as some great drawings.

We didn't get to stop this trip but I would highly recommend it. I've bought many unique gifts here. The items are well made and it's a great service to the community and I'm sure it has a positive impact on the prisoners.

This is a must-visit for anyone visiting the state of Montana. They have the most beautiful selection of horsehair products. Wallets, hand purses, bridles, dog collars, and more. Bill shared with us the detail of how many of the products are handmade and have been passed down from person to person. The items are truly works of art. There are many museums and souvenir stores in Montana. This one you don't want to miss. It was an amazing experience. It was great to see the beautiful work and sense of pride that these men put into their craft.
