Fodor's Expert Review Shiprock Trading Post

Shiprock Trading Post established in 1894, came to Farmington in 2007. What sets this location off from its gallery in Santa Fe is its direct connection to the Navajo artisans who come here to buy the richly dyed skeins of wool that collectors will eventually see in their finished rugs. Stop here to view a good selection of topical books, outstanding rugs and jewelry from Indian artists creating contemporary designs from traditional materials, an excellent selection of modern Ganado and Wide Ruins rugs, rare vintage Chiefs blankets, and almost as rare Zuni and Navajo pawn.
