Traveling back to Phoenix we stopped at the Hubbell Trading Post to stretch and
look around.
An old, old trading post
Beautiful Cottonwoods along a creek near the trading post.
We were fortunate enough to participate in a tour of the Hubbell home by Elvis
Burbank of the National Park Service. He was a descendant (he thinks) of
artist Elbridge Ayer Burbank who painted at the trading post for several years.
Bead work over the doors in the home.
Baskets nailed to the ceiling.
More beautiful bead work.
A Navajo rug in an alcove with an old Singer.
A small hogan on the property which was used as a guest house.
The nearby hilltop which became the family cemetery.
The trading post is still an active farm - this is the stable door.
Interesting the hinge is attached to a separate piece of wood.
Old wood on a farm door.
Brand? Not sure what this represents on the wall.
Our next stop was the Historic La Posada Hotel in Williams where we had a wonderful lunch.
