What is a trading post, exactly? 🏺✨

For over a century, trading posts have served as vital community hubs across the Southwest. Billy Keeler, 4th-generation owner of Richardson's Trading Co., shares the rich history of how local artisans and families gathered to trade goods, art, and essential supplies.

Established in 1913, Richardson's continues that deep-rooted legacy on Historic Route 66, bridging timeless Navajo craftsmanship with collectors worldwide.
