Description

Ismay Trading Post is on the map at the confluence of McElmo and Yellow Jacket canyons. It is the last stop on the road to the Navajo reservation from the east side in Colorado. For many decades it offered one-stop shopping for people living beyond the end of the road. Customers could pick up mail, general store goods, seasonal fresh produce and flat-tire repairs all in one place. Eleanor Heffernen Ismay, Robert's mother, and his father, John Ismay, built the adobe trading post in 1921 with the help of Eleanor's father, Jim Heffernen, who also built the Oljeto Trading Post, which is still in operation today. In a 1976 oral-history recording of Eleanor Ismay, archived in the Heritage West database of historical resources, she says, "McElmo is a good place for all kinds of fruit. Ours got a blight, but our son's grown the orchards up Yellow Jacket Canyon." https://fourcornersfreepress.com/news/2011/111104.htm Created in RealityCapture by Capturing Reality from 70 images in 00h:31m:04s.
