Description
Home for John Lorenzo Hubbell for over 50 years, the Ganado Valley trading post was one of the few bright spots when the Navajo were allowed to return to their homeland. Using the barter system, Hubbell traded cookware and food supplies for Navajo Churro sheep, baskets, Ganado style woolen rugs and blankets.
Visitors are welcome to explore the 150 year old Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site and its grounds. Its creaking old floorboards tell of its age and the dimly lit store recalls its prominence within the Navajo Nation. Seen as a bridge between two cultures, the Hubbell Trading Posts continues to exhibit examples of Navajo culture, traditions and fine craftsmanship.
