History of the Building
301 West Main Street once served as the Foutz Indian Room. In 2013, Bob Culpepper donated the building to the City of Farmington. The City of Farmington has since renovated the building for use as a Navajo art and culture museum. Managed by the Farmington Museum, this space exhibits the artistic creations, historic and contemporary, of Navajo artisans. It will also offer educational programs to educate buyers on purchasing authentic Navajo art.
