From 1974 until 2004, Bill Vernon Studios produced a wide variety of collectible figurines, gifts, and home decor products. The most popular of these collectibles were
The Shade Tree Cowboys
and
The Series of Evolution
. Our collectibles were all
MADE IN THE USA
. We started out in Gainesville, Florida, and then we moved to Franklin, North Carolina.
On May 29, 1998, Bill Vernon Studios in Franklin was destroyed by a fire. So many sculptures, the molds, and almost all records were lost. We did rebuild, but on a much smaller scale. On 2004, all Bill Vernon sculptures were retired.
