Budaghers, Trading post in Sandoval County, US.
The trading post sits between Albuquerque and Santa Fe along Interstate 25, featuring a metal tank with rotating painted themes and a Mormon Battalion Monument.
Joseph Budagher, who immigrated from Lebanon to New Mexico, established this trading post in the 1950s to serve travelers and local communities.
The establishment maintained strong connections with Pueblo Indians, offering traditional items such as handmade rugs, jewelry, and pottery to passing customers.
The site experienced changes after Interstate 25 construction, leading to reduced visitor numbers and the closure of subsequent commercial developments in the area.
A cylindrical metal tank near the trading post displays different artistic themes, including skeletal cars, cacti, and musical instruments.
