In 1878, John Lorenzo Hubble purchased the trading post. It is the oldest continuously operating trading post. Located on the Navajo Reservation, the Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site offers the visitor a chance to experience a piece of history. In 1967, the Hubbell family sold to the National Park Service in 1967. A non-profit organization operated the trading post. They maintain the Hubbell family traditions. The site consists of the original 160-acre homestead, with the trading post, family home and visitor center as the primary attractions.

There are demonstrations of Navajo rug weaving in the visitor center, along with a small museum display. The fully active trading post offers a variety of Native American made arts and crafts that includes rugs, baskets, kachinas, jewelry, drums, pots, etc. It also offers the opportunity to experience the traditional trading activities that have gone on for over 100 years.

There are regularly scheduled tours of the Hubbell family home during summer months, and in the winter, as staffing allows. In the summer, there are occasional presentations on Navajo rugs.

The Southwest Parks and Monuments Association, a non-profit organization, manages the bookstore located in the visitor center. The Southwest Parks and Monuments Association also operates the trading post, and offers a variety of items, including groceries, books and Native American arts and crafts.
