Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site
Hubbell Trading Post
The oldest trading post still operating on the Navajo Nation, where you can see Navajo rug weaving, silverwork, and the original look of an old frontier store.
Hubbell Trading Post sits in Ganado, about 55 km south of Chinle. Founded in 1878 by John Lorenzo Hubbell, it is the oldest trading post still in operation on the Navajo Nation and is now a National Historic Site. The old store is still stocked with canned goods and horse tack. The rug room at the back sells handwoven Navajo rugs and silver jewelry, and weavers often work at their looms on site. The Hubbell family home can be toured with a guide. Entry to the post is free; the home tour requires a separate ticket. It is a convenient stop on the way to and from Canyon de Chelly.
