Found! Another Hidden Treasure of the Southwest - Burnham's Traditional Trading Post in Sanders, AZ

I'm always on the lookout for great places that haven't changed in generations. I was thrilled to be introduced to the Burnham Trading Post in Sanders when I was returning from a volunteer project with the Navajo elders in the Sanders area. When you walk into Burnham's Trading Post, you will see the simpicity of places like Two Grey Hills Trading Post and Toadlena. Little did I expect such a traditional place just off I40!

But what most people will never see is the back room full of collector's Navajo rugs, jewelry from local reservations and Native American art from across the United States. After five generations of trading experience, Bruce and Virginia know what they are doing and they are happy to share their knowlege with you. I highly recommend a stop at this simple little building off I-40 between Winslow, AZ and Gallup, NM.
