Valor, Lore & Legacy

Hey everyone!
We know things have changed a bit since Family crests departure from Ober Mountain after 20 years. After moving down to the Parkway in Pigeon Forge for a while, that location is now closed—but we’re not going far!

We’re so excited to share that you can now find us on The Island in Pigeon Forge under the name Patriot Peddler —just a few doors down from our puzzle store! 🇺🇸

The Patriot Peddler carries many of the same types of products you loved from Family Crests, but everything is USA-made. You’ll still find our heritage and namesake items there too.

Come on by and see us at The Island, and don’t forget to follow Patriot Peddler on here to keep up with all the latest!

We’re excited to welcome you to our new home in Pigeon Forge at the Patriot Mill Shops! If you remember us as “Family Crests Etc” in Gatlinburg, we’ve moved—but we’ve brought all the things you loved with us (plus FREE parking!). We’re just a minute away from the Old Mill and Patriot Park, making it easier than ever to stop by and explore.

Our shop is a treasure trove of military memorabilia, pins, patches, hats, flags, heraldry items, custom family heirlooms, and even a heraldry research database packed with historically accurate information. Over the years, our store has evolved based on the things we’re most passionate about. Some say our collection is a little eclectic, but we like it that way! We’re a mix of veterans, history buffs, nerds, and folks who just love cool stuff—and if that sounds like you, you’ll fit right in.

So come on by, take a look, and see what catches your eye! We bet there’s something here for everyone.

Oh, and we’re still getting settled and finding our rhythm in our new spot, so we appreciate your patience as we work out the kinks! ⚔️
