Shops & Shopping Guide
Shopping in Clarkdale is a small-town experience: independent businesses along historic Main Street, locally inspired gifts, and specialty stops near the Verde Canyon Railroad and Tuzigoot National Monument. Rather than a large retail district, expect a relaxed collection of bookstores, handmade goods, home décor, farm products and souvenirs.
This guide highlights 10 Clarkdale shopping stops. A few are museum or attraction gift shops, a nursery or a specialty retailer rather than traditional boutiques. Hours, merchandise and access can change, so check each business before making a special trip.
