Located in beautiful North Buffalo, NY is an incredible little shop - Terrapin Station. Featuring the spirit of the Grateful Dead, Terrapin Station was established in a small storefront in March 1988. Their expanded location at 1172 Hertel near Delawareoffers a heightened experience that has attracted customers from all over the world.
Terrapin Station had always served as a cultural and social focal point for local Deadheads and music lovers. For twenty years, this locally-owned store has grown to embrace the alternative side of all ages.
Great music sets the kind mood. Visitors can browse through an extensive music CD collection and choose from eclectic clothing. The fragrance of beautiful incense and oils heightens the sensation of stepping into Haight-Asbury circa 1960's. Terrapin's selection of home decor and silver jewelry is imported from around the world. From tie-dye baby clothes to summer dresses to 3X music tee shirts, this boutique is like no other.
"Who shops here?" asked one staff member smiling. "You'd be surprised. We've got interior decorators and college-age folks buying our mix of decor & gifts while soccer moms order four dozen tie-dyes for the school team. And it just gets more unpredictable from there."
Terrapin Station celebrated twenty years of being the center of western New York's Grateful Dead/jam band community with a public celebration on March 1, 2008.
It was a wonderful evening of excellent music, friendship and dance with many featured musicians including Sonic Garden and Acoustic Forum.
Terrapin's proud history includes co-sponsorship of concerts and quiet support of local schools and charitable events including the Lizzard Ball, Juvenile Diabetes Foundation and RAINN Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network. As Terrapin's slogan says...
