First, at the Hubbell Trading Post, instead of the usual tacky souvenirs and fossilised "living museum" experience, I came upon a vibrant historic site that manages to combine conservation with old-style commerce.
Showcasing distinctive landmark structures from the Hubbell Trading Post, the oldest continuously operated trading post in Navajoland, to the Orpheum Theatre, to the Copper Queen Hotel which preserves memories of the Old West, Landmark Buildings is enjoyable to page through especially for armchair travelers, vacationers, and everyone with a keen interest in the sites of Arizona history.
