Trails End Gallery

★★★★★ 4.9 · 26 reviews

Open 10 AM–4 PM most days, closed Sun & Mon

A converted house on North Mesquite holds working studios where artists create and sell on-site. Watercolors hang alongside handmade jewelry, custom pendants, and refashioned silver rings. First Friday events bring live jazz, corn muffins roasting over open fire, and horse-drawn wagon rides. The multi-room layout turns visits into studio tours rather than passive gallery walks.
