It is a National Historic Site. It is still a trading post where visitors can buy authentic Navajo rugs, jewelry, and groceries, preserving a century-old tradition of trade in the American Southwest.<\/p>\n<p>John Lorenzo Hubbell, &#8220;Don&#8221; was born November 27, 1853, in Pajarito, New Mexico.\u00a0He purchased a small trading post in 1878. It was a vital asset to the Navajo, trading staples like coffee, flour and tools for native wool and crafts.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>John Lorenzo Hubbell purchased the trading post in 1878, ten years after Navajos were allowed to return to their homeland from their terrible exile at Bosque Redondo, Ft. Sumner, NM. During the four years spent at Bosque Redondo, Navajos were introduced to many new items. Traders like Hubbell supplied those items once they returned home. Hubbell family members operated this trading post until it was sold to the National Park Service in 1967. The trading post is still active, and operated by the non-profit organization, Western National Parks Association, that maintains the trading traditions the Hubbell family established.<\/p>\n<p><bdi>NPS Staff<\/bdi><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Hubbell expanded the trading post into a massive mercantile empire that eventually included over 30 trading posts, freight lines, and mail routes. He was the first state senator of Arizona.<\/p>\n<p>He was fluent in the Navajo language.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16666\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16666\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16666\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.projectsmallhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ganado_red_rug.jpg?resize=500%2C447&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"447\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16666\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Small Ganado Red Navajo Rug<br \/>Red white and black woven in the early 1900&#8217;s using imported yarns, called eyedazzler rugs in a style- much brighter than using natural dyes made for a growing tourist trade.<br \/>Photo by Thayne Tuason<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Hubbell was an advocate for Southwestern Native Art.
