It's just an awesome thing to be able to bring back all of these cars and trophies to the place where it all started and the place that I consider 'home,' said Martin. "We have a lot of stuff on display at the museum and I hope that all of the fans will get a chance to come out and share in all of the memories with us".

Jesus told the blind man, "Go wash in the pool of Siloe", which translates to "sent". So he went away and washed and came back seeing. ~ John 9:7
Siloe, based in Arkansas, was created to provide a job to two unemployed sisters with the dream to build a source of retirement for their hard working mother. God is good, and He wanted to use Siloe for more. With a voice for those in need, we want to impact others by giving back from the many blessings we receive from God and reinvent the meaning of boutique shopping in small towns.
In 2012, we opened our flagship store in Batesville, AR. In 2014, we opened our second store in Searcy, AR. That same year, we launched shopsiloe.com.
