Kilgore American Indian Art — Attraction in Mancos

I feel like I have been to every boutique in the southwest but the quality of the pieces ,the knowledge that Kelly has amassed for the art cannot be matched. I walked in her shop one day on a whim and she left me feeling like I knew her my entire life. I wasn’t able to decide on what piece I wanted the moment I walked in but I took a variety of photos and purchased a necklace that I felt was the best fit for my collection. Kelly knows every single artist and the history behind the piece. I truly value her opinion and her knowledge about the art. She can tell you what mine the stones came from or how the family history of the weavers. I could spend everyday with her just to soak up her stories and her knowledge. I’m grateful I found such a special place....

Walking into Kelly's store was an experience we are so glad we did not miss. We had just visited Mesa Verde, and decided to stop in Marcos and visit their downtown arts district. Talking to Kelly and hearing the story behind each piece of jewelry (among other artifacts - rugs, pottery, etc.) and its artist was an experience that is rarely found anymore, and we purchased jewelry from her at a very reasonable price. All I can say is...do not pass...

This store is amazing! Kelly’s knowledge is decades deep and it shows in her collection. A lot of the trading post-style stores in the four corners area have the same stuff over and over again. This store has unique and authentic items, ranging from old pawn to contemporary styles. I’m glad I got the opportunity to meet Kelly and visit her...
