Hubbell Trading Post in Ganado, AZ

After leaving Canyon de Chelly, we headed south and visited the Hubbell Trading Post, a National Historic Site in Ganado, AZ.  We were fortunate enough happen along just as a ranger guided tour of the home was starting.  What a unique and interesting place.

Sheep, Coffee, Rugs and Turquoise

The squeaky wooden floor greets your entry into the oldest operating trading post on the Navajo Nation.  When your eyes adjust to the dim light in the "bullpen" you find you’ve just entered a mercantile.  Hubbell's has been serving Ganado selling groceries, grain, hardware, horse tack, coffee and Native American Art since 1878.
