This is a magnificent treasure trove of Native American art. It ain't cheap but you can bet it's genuine authentic - NOT made in China. This is a MUST STOP on I-40 or the old Route 66. Browsing is encouraged and there is never any pressure to buy. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly sales staff. Haven't been in a few years, and I heard that Mr. Richardson has passed, but I would like to stop one more time as I drive back to Arkansas from California. My family first did it in 1953 before the Interstate system was built. Route 66 was a two lane road. What an adventure for a young boy! I guess that trip was the genesis of my wanderlust. If you visit, make sure to see the fantastic rug room. Incredible! Finally, make sure you have breakfast at Earl's Restaurant in Gallup - right on the old #66 right through town. Earl's is an old school diner that serves up a great traditional breakfast. My favorite! Have breakfast at Earl's and then take a tour of Richardson's Trading Post - you will never forget it! Enjoy!!!
Many thanks for preserving on youtube some of this magnificent collection. We passed through Gallup in early January of 2008 and met Mr. Richardson and his daughter/daughters and some helpful staff. Could have spent $100,000 for a fragment of his inventory. Thanks again Ron. Regards, Joe & Merry Boysen
My Grand Father (W A. Sullivan Moms Dad R I P) was a building contractor In 1950-60s was in on const. of N D N Hospital Neiborhood's Schools ECT. There in Gallup. He lived 100 MLS south of city between Quemado and Pie Town. We're Choctaw some Irish.
I once actually jumped a train to get from one end of town to the other....it sped up and we had great trouble jumping off off in one piece. My memories of you personally are naturally vague, but I do remember you being a very friendly character, a "decent chap". Thankyou for that.
Back at my university in England next year I heard a tap at my window in the rain....and there was Logan! (since lost touch a long time). Guess Iw as a ship that passed in the night. That budget trip from NY to LA and back held many adventures for me a real eye opener. It was quite a rare thing to go on a plane in those days. I now live in Chiangmai Thailand, a great little city and a great life. Be well, John Wickenden
Hey Bill, I came from England and hitched across the States down Route 66 in 1968. In Oklahoma I was picked up by an affable chap called Logan Sherman in his Beetle (who kindly got me stoned that night). He was going to Gallup to do some kind of Indian study. He introduced me to you and as I was a student and had few $ for a long trip you employed me a couple of days and I painted the wooden "teepees" outside your tourist shop across the state border.
@infowarrior1999 Down loading video last night. Got up this morning and edited video. The art work you see. Is Hopi, Zuni, Acoma, Apache, Navajo and other tribes from the Four Corners area. Sorry infowarrior, but there are several Native America tribes in that area of New Mexico. So calling the video Navajo Nation, would be wrong.
@brandonGCHACHU I would like to get a hold of the Zuni Kya'na Dancers, I recorded at Santa Fe this summer. Can you help via a personal e-mail too my You Tube channel?
You're so right! Mothers back then DID NOT "TAKE A PISS!" That's what you say your daughter did. Mother just turned over in her grave!! Shame on you!!!
