Visit Hubbell Trading Post, the oldest continuously operating trading post on the Navajo Indian Reservation. Hubbell family members operated this trading post until it was sold to the National Park Service in 1967.

Park collections are rich in Navajo textiles, silverwork, oral histories, and artwork depicting the Navajo community and the Hubbell family. Elbridge Ayer Burbank works comprise almost one third of the Hubbell fine art collection. The oral history collection contains interviews with over 160 people conducted between 1960 and the present. It draws fascinating stories about Navajo or Diné life, the Ganado area, its people, and Navajo weaving. |
