Bottle village was created in 1956 by Tressa “Grandma” Prisbrey at the age of 60. Her initial porpoise for the structure was so that she could keep out the smell from the Turkey farm next door and so that she could store her pencil collection, but it soon turned into much more.
Using mortar and bottles (which she found during daily trips to the dump) Grandma Prisbrey managed to turn her 1/3 acre lot into a magnificent work of art, eventually being accepted and praised by the art world.
