What you'll discover
In our magical forest themed Gift Shop, you can find all of our coins, jewelry, and wax seals plus a wide assortment of gifts and souvenirs from other Arkansas small businesses. In the corner of our gift shop, open the correct door and discover a nook of Goop World complete with Kaida the Creature, a gentle giant. The space was brought into our Earthly realm by West Fork native Natalia Franco.
Head upstairs for a bird's eye view of our workshop and to explore our free Mini Museum featuring history of Shire Post Mint and explanation of how we make our coins. Unfortunately, this upstairs space is not wheelchair accessible.
Tours of our Mini Museum are available during business hours without an appointment. For groups of 10 or more people, please Contact us to make sure we are sufficiently staffed to support your group. We are an active manufacturing workshop so we cannot provide tours through our manufacturing shop outside of our annual Shire Post Mint Festival in the fall.
Our grounds are a Certified Wildlife Habitat that feature rain gardens and plants curated by Biodesic Strategies to help support our local watershed, community, and wildlife. You are invited to wander through our gardens.
