Suite of souvenir photo-postcards depicting the grounds and buildings of the Ganado Mission, established in 1901 by the Presbyterian Church.
The mission, which was developed alongside J. Lorenzo Hubbell's already active "Hubbell Trading Post," served as a center for education, healthcare, and cultural exchange between the Western Missionaries and the Navajo community. The Ganado Mission grew to become the largest domestic mission of the Presbyterian Church and the largest Native American mission in the United States. Shortly after the mission was founded, a school for Navajo children was opened, and a decade later, in 1911, the Sage Memorial Hospital was opened. This was the first non-governmentally funded hospital on an Indian reservation in America. In 1930, the hospital founded its School of Nursing. The school provided a professional nursing education, which until the founding of Sage, had been denied to women of racial minority groups. It was the first and only accredited nursing training school for Native American women in the United States.
The Mission and the Hubbell Trading Post were designated as a National Historic Site in 1960.
