Route 66 runs straight through the story of Old Highway Trading Post, a family owned shop at 698 East Route 66 in Flagstaff that has been doing business along the historic highway since 1988, giving it nearly four decades of continuous operation in a city where the Mother Road still carries real commercial weight rather than just nostalgic value. The trading post specializes in antiques, collectibles, Native American artwork, furniture, and home decor, a lineup that reflects both Flagstaffs position as a crossroads for travelers exploring northern Arizonas Native nations and its own identity as a mountain town with a deep appreciation for Western and Southwestern craftsmanship. Merchandise moves quickly here, with new stock added daily, so the sales floor looks different from one visit to the next as fresh finds from estate collections and private sellers cycle through alongside the shops standing inventory of vintage furniture and decorative pieces. Beyond retail sales, Old Highway Trading Post actively buys quality merchandise and full estate collections, and the business goes a step further than many antique shops by offering in home appointments, sending someone out to evaluate items where they sit rather than requiring sellers to haul everything into the store first, a service that particularly appeals to families settling an estate or downsizing a longtime Flagstaff home. That willingness to travel for evaluations, paired with straightforward cash payment for items purchased, has helped the shop build steady relationships with sellers across the region rather than relying purely on walk in foot traffic. The store keeps an unusually generous schedule for a shop of its type, open seven days a week from 9:30 in the morning until 6 in the evening, closing only for Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, which means travelers passing through Flagstaff on any day of the week, including weekends when many smaller antique shops go dark, can count on the doors being open. Flagstaffs location along Route 66 puts it squarely on one of the most heavily traveled nostalgia routes in the country, and a trading post that has held its ground here since the late 1980s has watched decades of road trippers, regional shoppers, and Native American art collectors pass through its doors, building an inventory shaped as much by what the region itself produces as by what collectors bring in to sell. The combination of Native American artwork alongside more general antiques and furniture gives the shop a broader draw than a typical roadside antique stop, appealing equally to collectors hunting for regional pottery, jewelry, or woven pieces and to shoppers simply looking for solid vintage furniture or home decor at prices below what a big box retailer charges for new goods. For anyone road tripping the historic highway through Flagstaff, settling an estate, or just hunting for a piece of Southwestern character to bring home, Old Highway Trading Post offers a genuine slice of Route 66 commerce that has outlasted plenty of newer competition. Old Highway Trading Post is a family owned antiques, collectibles, and Native American art shop that has operated along Route 66 in Flagstaff, Arizona since 1988, buying and selling estate merchandise seven days a week.
