Hubbell trading post once served as a sort of business
bridge between Native Americans and early Great Plains foragers from
the east. Today, the trading post stands as an educational reminder
of native cultures and a tool to understand the makeshift relationships
conjured up in America’s youth. In the midst of change and westward
expansion, the Hubbell trading post served as an important point of
compromise.
Trading is not a distant memory here. You can enjoy food cooked by Native
Americans, attend an auction run by local nonprofit organizations, and
listen in on storytellers and singers who make appearances during the
late August Old Time Trading Days. There are special programs to further
explain Hubbell Trading Post and the many transactions that have taken
place here. Sit down with tour guides who know the post’s extensive
history or converse with local artists and craft makers who still reside
here.
