Bottle Village : home

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.
