The TePee
Cherry Valley, NY
The TePee was built in 1950 by Ken and Iris Gurney. They still run this souvenir shop. It was actually on old Route 20 (the entire highway relocated) and moved when it did. The teepee was rebuilt on a larger scale at that point. It is 50 feet tall and 42 feet wide. There used to be a stuffed horse but that has been replaced with a fiberglass buffalo. The teepee used to have a metallic finish but it was painted light yellow in 1997. Somewhere between 2002 and 2004 (the middle and bottom photos), the lacing was painted on the front of the building. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, and 3.

Teepee
Paducah, KY
This Teepee may have originally been used as an ice cream stand. It was later used as a liquor store. As of 2010 when these photos were taken, the teepee appeared to be vacant. Does anyone know the history of this place?

Cherokee Trading Post
Budd Lake, NY
The Cherokee Trading Post opened around 1945.

Cherokee Trading Post
Geary, OK		 Kampvilla RV Park
Bear Lake, MI
The Cherokee Trading Post in Geary opened in 1958.

This Kampvilla RV Park teepee is visible from the road. It is about five feet tall.

Indian Village Adventure Golf [gone]
Houghton Lake, MI		 Totem Village Indian Museum
St. Ignace, MI
These photos of the teepee and sign at Indian Village Adventure Golf were taken in 2006. By 2011, there was no trace of the place left.

The Totem Village Indian Museum opened in the 1950s. It is a combination museum, gift shop, and zoo. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2.

Indian Village
St. Ignace, MI
The Indian Village was established in 1927. The gift shop originally featured demonstrations of Indian basket weaving and other crafts. The original building featured five teepees. It was rebuilt in 1977. The signs appear to be from the 1950s. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, and 3.

Zubler's Indian Craft Shop
Houghton Lake, MI
Zubler's Indian Craft Shop has an assortment of teepees, totem poles, Indian statues, signs, and a gift shop. Zubler's features Pow-Wow performances by Chippewa Reservation Indians. For more, see this website.

Rockin' Chair Gift Shop
Houghton Lake, MI
The Rockin' Chair Gift Shop features a menagerie of fiberglass animals, other statues, a concrete teepee, and other photo-ops. I believe this place has been around since at least the 1960s.
