The museum is housed in the original Trading Post and home of Harry and 'Mike" Goulding. Mr. and Mrs. Goulding were lifelong friends of the Navajo people. Harry brought movie director John Ford to Monument Valley to see the landscapes and the rest is movie making history. Visit a movie set from "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon" or walk back in time with this wonderful collection of movie making memorabilia and Indian artifacts. Monument Valley is still used for movie and commercial filming today.
