They have everything imaginable. From tools that you can’t find at Ace or Lowes to kitchen gadgets. I love to just browse around this store. I could spend hours just roaming the isles. I always come out of that store carrying something in a bag. I shop here everytime we go to Placerville, CA

Cool spot but I guess if you wander through this place and don’t buy anything you’ll get yelled at. Ha! Why brag that you’re «the oldest hardware store west of the Mississippi» if you don’t want tourists? It seems to have a good stock of hardware and tools so I can’t knock it for anything but getting yelled at. I walked back in to find out why she was mad but she hustled to the back. I’m trying to understand her frustration but why advertise it as a tourist attraction?

This place is great! Not only is it a place to wander in and just take a rainy day break, but if you have friends stopping in town, take them here. It’s a store that has everything from modern kitchen devices to stuff you need to repair a 1950s appliance. We have been stumped for fixing something in our house that just isn’t around any more, and voila there it is. Good ice cream scoops, tiny screws for old glasses, you name it, they got it! If it goes out of business, yikes! Recently I went shopping for last minute xmas and I found some cute stocking stuffers there as well as some clear oil for our lanterns. even tho it was super busy on the 24th, there were lots of staff there to help you find what you needed and they were very pleasant about it as well. This store is a bonus for our town!

Hardware store tat has everything for someone. it has that old feel store. wood floors and old small town hardware store feel. if you stopped and looked at everything it would take you at least an hour and almost sure to walk out with something that you would like.

Came into the store just as the football I was listening to went to halftime. Game is now over and I’m still waiting for them to process my return. You would think a pro rewards member with over 40k spent in this store this year could get a little bit better service. Apparently not. The ladies up front have been great but after that I’ve had zero dialog with anybody else who is supposed to be handling my returns situation.

This cute little hardware store is seeping in history. History and bargains! Plenty of items for the tourists as well as those who live local.

I refer so many people to this wonderful gem that it’s crazy! Something for everyone & great history. You walk on floor boards that so many have before you!

This place is pretty awesome. There are SOOOOO many things in here to choose from. The word hardware is kind of a misnomer. I found so many items I didn’t realize I needed until I took a spin around this store. Excellent place for souvenirs or interesting and hard to find items.

Oldest operating hardware west of the Mississippi. Don’t miss the leg through the ceiling.
If you can’t find it here, they don’t make it. Also a great selection of gold panning supplies for those tourists passing through without equipment.
Nice staff who will answer any questions you have

This is a great place to get those hard to find objects. I was looking for a cherry pitter a couple years ago and couldn’t find one in other stores I went to, but Placerville Hardware had several different models to choose from. This is the type of store your grandparents or great-​grandparents would have shopped in for household items. It’s wonderful!
Don’t forget to look up! One of my most favorite items I purchased from here was hanging from the wall about 4 feet above my head.
With so much to see, plan to spend some time here. And if you just need standard hardware store type items, they have that too.

The history is incredible, and the selection unparalleled. BUT, it is always packed and the aisles are very narrow, so you’re very unlikely to get help. I still go anyway though, because tradition takes precedence.

I love this store. In addition to being a great little, local hardware store, they have so many great things to look at! A huge kitchen section full of specialty tools and gadgets and knick-​knacks and whatsits! I love it. In fact, I found all sort of little things I had been looking for (and some I didn’t know I wanted! ha.). Great prices too. The store itself is a sort of like a local icon with a long history and it is smack dab in the middle of Old Hangtown Placerville. If you are in Old Hangtown, you must go here!

Great store; especially if you need to find a Christmas gift. The only reason we stopped in was because I had a gift certificate. Staff was nice enough, but you could tell that many of the items had been shelved for a while.
Found an apron at a reasonable price & was happy with the selection they had.

What a great store, not just a hardware store!!! It’s been around for over 160+ years, and with every visit i discover something new, something I hadn’t seen on previous visits… While every employee in the store is friendly, helpful, and extremely competent; my favorite employees are Sid & Darlene, two sisters that are very witty and fun, and that is in addition to the attributes stated above. I love shopping here, and makes my visits to downtown well worth the trip — I always find something to buy, whether it’s something I need, or just want… It’s a very eclectic store, one that has something for everyone, if not, shame on you!!!

A neat place to visit & bring your grand kids to see what an old time hardware store iwas like. (They boast about being the oldest continually operating hardware store W of the Mississippi.
Great selections.
We got some strong magnets (for refrigerators) also a ball valve ¼ «x ¼» compression.
Extremely friendly, knowledgable, and helpful staff.

I am obsessed by this hardware store.
Everything imaginable is crammed into this historic business from gold mining tools, rope, garden stuff, hardware, unique kitchen and cleaning items… the list goes on forever.
Sometimes, I’ll just jump in my truck and head up to Placerville to shop there (I live in Sacramento county). Seriously, who does that? I do!
Great staff and many one-​of-​a-​kind items. This THE place to go for a gift.

I adore this place! I bring all my friends and family from out of town here.
There are cute and unique gifts and all the practical and useful hardware items as well. I go here before home depot!
Plus the staff is very helpful and nice. They place orders, call me when its in, better service than any big-​box-​shop.

This place is awesome,
When you can not find it at Home Depot, go to Placerville Hardware, they will most likely have it!

This is a historic shop with everything from silver polish to a redneck wine glass. It has the majority of hardware basics but the collection of other kitchy stuff is its real selling point. A good place to buy a gift or a trinket.
The interior is immaculately up-​kept, I loved the hardwood floors and the wooden staircases. Definitely worth a stop in if you are in Placerville.

Stopped here on the way back from Tahoe… I stop here whenever in the area cuz I can find stuff that one can only dream about where cooking implements and kitchen gidgets are concerned. Hardware is a misnomer-​really! My last trip found some gaskets for my Ikea Espresso maker and a blue glass 2 cup measurer. There are aisles and aisles of tea stuff, hearth stuff, garden stuff, bird stuff, home and kitchen things that you won’t find anywhere else and just, well, stuff. Stuff that you will need some day; you will see! Stop by and browse; it’s free entertainment and if you buy something; you will use it some day.
