Cameron Trading Post, a trading post, restaurant and hotel in Arizona, was built in what year?

In 1916, local traders Hubert and C.D. Richardson opened the Cameron Trading Post, and Cameron soon established itself as integral commerce center for the Native American people who lived nearby.

In the early days of the Trading Post, only the Native American Navajo and Hopi were allowed to visit and barter their hand-made goods for food staples. Today, the Cameron Trading Post is enjoyed by visitors from all around the world as a Grand Canyon gateway.

A visit to Cameron is more than just a routine stop on a tour. It is now a cultural experience; an opportunity to learn about Navajo culture first-hand through their art, which is still a vital part of the local economy. The Cameron Trading Post sells hand-crafted jewelry of silver and turquoise, colorful rugs painstakingly crafted on looms handed down through generations, as well as pottery, baskets and paintings from many tribes throughout the Southwest.

In a gallery in the Trading Post, it has one of Northern Arizona’s most exquisite collections of Native made crafts. In addition to its retail store, the Cameron Trading Post also has a hotel, RV Park, convenience store, gas station, and a restaurant that has earned a cult-like following among people who live in local regions. Some people will gladly drive hundreds of miles to enjoy a house preference, the Navajo Taco.
