“Welcome to the official home page for Grandma Prisbrey's Bottle Village.

This folk art environment is the single handed work of self taught senior citizen Tressa "Grandma " Prisbrey.

Located in Simi Valley California, Bottle Village is lauded by art scholars, The State of California, The National Register of Historic Places and in exhibitions, as a major artistic achievement.

Unfortunately, Grandma Prisbrey's Bottle Village is disintegrating. The 1994 Northridge earthquake struck 8 miles away and badly damaged the Village. We hope this web site will get the word out that help is needed now. Furthermore, it's a wonderful way for you to become educated, enlightened, and entertained by a remarkably inventive everyday woman and her famous creation.

Bottle Village is one of those very cool cultural heritage and historical sites that seem to hide in plain site, on the fringes of our modern society, the kind where you just love it and can see through to the beauty inherit in it… (or not for those who think it’s just a eye sore and should be bulldozed to make room for another couple cookie-cutter track homes… “boo, I say… boo on you!”)

Thanks to JJ for the heads up about this site. :)
