On the way to Canyon de Chelly, we stopped at Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site. John Lorenzo Hubbell started trading here in 1876. As everyone knows, it is located on the bustling US Route 191 corridor near Ganado, AZ, about halfway between Chambers, AZ, and Chinle, AZ. The walk-in traffic must have been awesome!
Here is a photo of Lorri in front of the Trading Post and a photo of the wall of the Trading Post which proves we actually stopped here.
This is an early model Sportsmobile parked in front of the Post.
Here is a peek at the bustling center of commerce itself, still going strong today. For more information, check out http://www.nps.gov/hutr/ where you can find some serious background information courtesy of the National Park Service.
