This is a must go-to Hardware store like no other. Can’t have friends or family visit without a trip to Placerville Hardware. As a “Local”, I can go to find the oddest, needed item and they don’t disappoint. Or, I can find just the right gift for anyone on my list. They are a, ‘True Value Hardware Store’ on steroids! Make sure to check out the ladders on wheels there to access years gone by of stuff you didn’t know you needed till you needed it. Gold panning equipment to screen and shovel repair to kitchen items galore. And pick up some Caramel as you check out. Take yourself or bring friends with you. You are bound to hear, “This place has so much to look at!” You won’t be disappointed.

Love this historical hardware store. Owned for generations by same family. Ask Albert to show you the pet raccoons. Great people and amazing service. Fix the kitchen sink or pan for gold! Get down to the brass tacs here!

This store is awesome! The owner is real friendly and helpful. Staff are great. They have a good inventory of hardware equipment and other miscellaneous items such as gold mining equipment. It’s a very unique store and I highly recommend visiting.

This is a really neat hardware store with all sorts of things in it. They have your typical hardware items, cleaning supplies, kitchen stuff, gold panning equipment, home decorations, and so many other things. I'm not sure I've even been able to see everything in this store. There are so many separate little areas with more things! Staff is friendly and helpful. Store is clean. Seasonal items available. (e.g. chestnuts) Well worth a visit, it you have the time.

As always wonderful from the great staff to the wonderful original wood floors. You can always find things you need and of course things you don't need but want. So glad this is still in Placerville

We went on a day trip to Placerville. Did you know Placerville Hardward is the oldest hardware store west of the Rockies?! So we checked it out! WOW! What don't they have! What a fun, fun place!! It's packed with the most of everything! The Hummingbird feeders are fabulous! The kitchenware is incredible, and they sparkle atmosphere! Yeah! In a hardware store! We had so much fun. The ladies at the register were so friendly and sweet. It was like being checked out by my Grammy!

There's a running joke in this small town... "If you can't find it, they most likely have it" , awesome family owned store!

Nice people work here who know this store like the back of their hands. I ended up buying a classifier for mining and a jewelers loupe. They have a lot of unique inventory. The store has been kept original. The creaking wood floors that probably have gold dust in every crack.

This store is one of a kind and always fun to go inside. It's been around since 1979 and is always busy with great customer service
