Basic Information

Welcome to Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site

Some things to consider as you plan your trip:

• Please note the Navajo Nation observes Mountain Daylight Saving Time from March through November while the rest of Arizona observes Mountain Standard Time. When it is 1 p.m. in Flagstaff, Arizona it is 2 p.m. at Hubbell Trading Post.
• During times of severe weather, the park may be closed with little notice. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause for our visitors.
• Plan on spending an hour or two to visit - go to the Visitor Center, Trading Post and surrounding homestead.
• Stop at the Visitor Center and see the interpretive exhibits about the story of the Hubbell Family and the creation of Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site. Ask at the information desk about what there is to do and see.
• Sit at the visitor's loom inside the Visitor Center and try your hand at weaving.
• Join a ranger for a peek of the historic Hubbell Home where the family of John Lorenzo Hubbell lived.
• Wander the grounds of the Hubbell family homestead and see the barn, bunkhouse, guest Hogan, historic farm equipment, chickens, and Navajo Churro sheep.
• Explore the oldest continuously operating trading post in the American Southwest. Shop for authentic Navajo rugs, jewelry, baskets and so much more.
• Enter the bullpen of the trading post to shop for food and dry goods. Buy a delicious snack for the road.
• Watch and listen to the trader buy a hand-woven rug from a skilled Navajo weaver or a craft item from an artisan.
• Watch the Navajo weaver in the Rug Room weave an intricate design in a rug.
• When available, attend a "Sheep to Rug" workshop or other activities to learn about the Navajo Lifeways.
