When Juan Lorenzo Hubbell opened the Hubbell Trading Post in 1878 in Ganado, Arizona, Navajo Nation, he worked alongside many Navajo weavers to create new and unique rug designs and patterns. One design in particular, the Ganado, was inspired by the paintings of artist E.A. Burbank and remains as popular today as when it was first introduced.

The Hubbell Trading Post is currently operated by the Western National Parks Association. It is a fascinating place steeped in history, culture, tradition as well as artistry. One can explore its Hubbell family and regional trade history, cultural exhibits and weaving demonstrations. Be enriched by the opportunity to engage with Edison Eskeets, post trader and expert, regarding the inventory of extraordinary woven rugs, baskets, and jewelry available for purchase.
