Colorado Horse Parker Property

The worn boards that groan with each step; the glass cases and shelves stocked with cans, dry goods, and bolts of fabric; the harnesses and farm tools hanging from hooks; the famed Navajo blankets and rugs gracing the walls with their geometric designs and symbolic motifs. All of it transports the visitor back a hundred years to the time when trader Juan Lorenzo Hubbell bestowed his heralded hospitality on Navajo, Hispanic and Anglo visitor alike.

Situated outside of Ganado Arizona, the historic site is off the beaten path. Driving south from Monument Valley, the traveler moves through a ruggedly beautiful land of dramatic changes. Mesas cut through with deep canyons open up to high plateaus. Empty stretches punctuated by strange rock formations give way to grasslands and forests. Distant horizons frame a land populated with cattle, horses, sheep and the modest Navajo communities that melt into the landscape.

Original Trader of the Famed Navajo Blankets

It was here, in what was then called the Pueblo Colorado Wash, that in 1878 J. L. Hubbell expanded the original trading post established by William Leonard. He first made his name trading goods such as flour, sugar, coffee, tobacco and meat in exchange for sheep wool, pelts and the hand-made blankets he would popularize as rugs for customers in the east.
