J. L. Hubbell established the Hubbell Trading Post in northeastern Arizona as a center of commerce for the Navajo people in the late 1870s, 10 years after the Navajo people were allowed to return to the Ganado region from their US-imposed exile, a tragic period of time known as The Long Walk of the Navajo. Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site is the oldest and longest continuously operated trading post in the American Southwest, and its buildings represent the best examples of an evolving American Southwest trading post complex. It was declared a historic landmark in 1960 and, later, a national historic site in 1965. Visitors have the opportunity to interact with weavers and other artists, building an understanding of each artist’s method and motivation, and of the role art plays in many American Indian cultures.

Stories from all parks
Our public lands are our public commons. They belong to all of us as part of our natural and cultural heritage. They remind us of a larger world that has existed long before the arrival of humans and will survive long after we are gone. –Terry Tempest Williams, Author & Conservationist
