See more info and photos here at Roadside Peek'sSpotlight on Mac's Indian Village. Mac's has featured fake teepees at its location since 1934. These days, the teepees are down to just four. 04-08
UPDATE 05/08 : Mac's Indian Village is open for business. My husband and I have been running it for over a year now. It had been closed for a while. Eight months ago we took the Qualla Motel across the street. We are remodeling some of the tee pees and people come from all over to stay here and have been for many years. They've been there around the early 1900's. Many thanks to Phyllis, owner of Mac's Indian Village, for update. 05-08
