John L. Hubbell Trading Post NHS

John Lorenzo Hubbell was a trader whose friendly relations with the Navajo made him a southwest legend. The Trading Post and many of it's other buildings are preserved today. The Trading Post still sells things it sold in Hubbell's day, Indian Jewelry and Rugs, and well as modern things like souvenirs and candy. The day I was there it was overrun with school groups, so I didn't stay long inside the packed Trading Post. Hubbell is reported to have been buried in the Navajo tradition, in a unmarked grave, on the hill behind the site.
