Hubbell Trading Post Offers Glimpse Into Past

GANADO – Opening the door to the Hubbell Trading Post is like opening a door into the past. With the sound of the creaky floors and exquisite Navajo rugs hung along the wall, it truly feels like you’re stepping back in time. You may also find women weaving those rugs, so beautiful they are considered art. And don’t forget to look up, as you will see woven baskets covering the ceiling.
The Hubbell Trading Post opened in 1878, and it’s the oldest operating trading post on the Navajo Nation.
The National Parks Service purchased the trading post in 1967. It continues to be active today, operated by the non-profit organization Western National Parks Association, which maintains the original trading traditions the Hubbell family established.

While it is true that the Winslow Chamber of Commerce is located in the old Hubbell TP, it is not the one you have pictured. You are talking about the Hubbell TP in Ganado. There is also one in Winslow. Only the one in Ganado still functions as a trading post.
That is true Marc! We made a mistake and are removing the reference to the Chamber of Commerce. Thank you for reading!
