Hubbell Trading Post, Ganado, Arizona

"It is 1885. You have traveled by wagon for days. You enter the valley of the Pueblo Colorado Wash, known as Lok' aah niteel, Wide Reeds. As you approach Hubbell Trading Post you see others have arrived to trade. Navajo friends greet one another. You are here to trade a rug for goods that you will need for the winter.
"Today, you have traveled by vehicle for a few hours. Hubbell Trading Post is still here and operating! The door and gate invite you. Welcome. Woosh Deeh!"

The floors creek as you walk in, the only heat is the stove in the center of the room. You can see it now has electric lights, but in many ways it is not much different than in the 1800's.

Thanks so much for commenting on my photo of the Hubbell Trading Post in Arizona. It is about 30 miles from Canyon de Chelly where the rest of my photos were taken this week. The original Hubbell is from Albuquerque, and we enjoy visiting that historical home too.
