Prairie Hearth
"a unique shopping experience in a beautiful country setting"
 
Prairie Hearth is in our 15th year and specializes in primitive country crafts and art, all unique and Nebraska made.
 
Owners Tracy and Bryan Kindler began the store in 1992, converting one of their eighty year old out-buildings into a store behind their country home. The home and buildings had originally been built by Bryan's great-great uncle and aunt, Fred and Martha Engel, who at one time had raised chickens in the store building. In 1999, the store nearly doubled in size when the Kindlers added on a second room and a new store front. Business continued to grow. In 2000, Bryan sold his seventy year old family restaurant and came to work full time at Prairie Hearth. It became necessary to add a large building in back of the store to be used as a work shop and for storage.

Our inventory changes weekly, and we are constantly coming out with new designs and patterns. Northwoods and cabin decor have become popular. We have expanded our territory by having our moose windows and other outdoor designs for sale at other stores in Minnesota, Colorado, Tennessee, Wyoming, South Dakota and Arkansas. Their names and locations are listed on the Northwoods page of this site. When traveling or while on vacation in these areas, we invite you to stop and check out these other fine stores.
Prairie Hearth is located 3 miles South of Fremont, Nebraska on Hwy. 77 to District 11 Country School, then 3/4 of a mile West. If coming from Omaha, Nebraska, take Hwy 64 (Maple St) west to Hwy 77, then go North to our corner, or take Hwy 92 (Center St.) west to Hwy 77, then go North to our corner.
