Description
- Maisel’s was in the Albuquerque area. It is established by Maurice and Cyma Maisel in 1939 to cater to the U.S. Route 66 tourist trade
- Various murals depicting Indian life were painted on Maisel’s Trading Post by ten Pueblo and Navajo artists such as Narcisco Abeyta, Harrison Begay, and Awa Tsireh
- The trading post employed hundreds of native craftspeople in its heyday. It closes upon its founder’s death, and is reopened in the 1980s by Maurice’s grandson, Skip.
- It continued to trade as Skip Maisel’s Indian Jewelry and Crafts, until summer of 2019, when Skip Maisel retires and closes the business.
