The Oljato trading post in southeastern Utah has been identified as one of the 11 most endangered historic sites in the country.

​

The Utah Department of Cultural & Community Engagement says the 100-year-old trading post recently became a focal point for preservation efforts after decades of neglect.

​

The Oljato Chapter and the Navajo Nation are now hoping the destination will stimulate greater awareness and support for the project.

Officials say the deteriorated structure needs $1.3 million for rehabilitation in order to serve a new career as a community and tourist destination
