Built by Ancel Taylor in 1928 with an attached garage, the Historic Peach Springs Trading Post in downtown Peach Springs circa 1932 was an important commercial enterprise for Peach Springs citizens and travelers on Route 66, then the major transportation corridor for the region. It served as a trading goods store and was one of the Hualapai Tribe's first economic ventures in the 1950's. In 1978, downtown Peach Springs businesses suffered major economic impacts because the I-40 Freeway bypassed the town. After I-40 was completed, the Trading Post served many uses for various tribal offices. Today it houses the offices for Hualapai Game & Fish and Tribal Forestry.
