Rusty Rooster Gainesboro

The Rusty Rooster Gainesboro is a locally owned artisan market in the heart of Gainesboro, Tennessee, bringing together a diverse collection of handmade goods, artwork, gifts, home décor, and locally created products under one roof.

Our shop is home to a carefully curated group of local and regional makers, artists, and small businesses, giving visitors the opportunity to discover something new around nearly every corner. From pottery, basketry, artwork, jewelry, woodworking, and handcrafted gifts to books, home décor, personalized items, and seasonal finds, our inventory reflects the creativity and craftsmanship of the people behind it.

More than simply a place to shop, The Rusty Rooster is also a place to create, gather, and learn. Our in-shop maker space hosts classes and workshops led by local artists and craftspeople, giving members of the community an opportunity to learn new skills, try traditional and creative arts, and spend time creating together.

We believe a small-town shop should feel personal, welcoming, and worth exploring. Whether someone stops in looking for a unique Tennessee-made gift, wants to meet the makers behind the work, signs up for a class, or simply enjoys wandering through the shop to see what has changed, our goal is to make every visit to The Rusty Rooster Gainesboro a little different from the last.
