5 Best Places to Shop in Bisbee, Southern Arizona

Custom, handwoven Panama hats, as well as works of beaver, hare, and rabbit fur-felt, are what this nationally renowned shop is known for. It's also where people get their historical hats cleaned and restored.

Although many artist studios, galleries, and boutiques in historic buildings line Main Street, which runs though Tombstone Canyon, 55 Main Gallery is one of several noteworthy galleries selling contemporary work at a range of prices along the main drag.

This fine-art gallery is owned and operated by Bisbee's Women's Transition Project, which aids homeless women and their children. Belleza features the work of local and national artists, as well as a line of wood Adirondack furniture made by women receiving assistance from the program. The gallery's commission from furniture sales goes directly into funding the Transition Project.

A trip to Bisbee wouldn't be complete without a stop at the tiny shop of beekeeper Reed Booth. Sample his amazing array of honeys, honey butters, and mustards, and pick up some killer honey recipes.

In Peddlers Alley, grab a free cup of freshly brewed espresso from Old Bisbee Roasters, then buy some equally fresh-roasted, organic beans, bought in small batches from small, sustainable farms, at their shop down the road.
