Grady's Trading Post: Home
Grady's Trading Post was originally established as an Indian Trading Post on the Georgia bank of the Chattahoochee River as early as 1861. Grady's Indian ancestors traded animal furs, hides and Indian jewelry to the white settlers who operated the trading post in return for flour, supplies, guns, ammunition, traps, and other manufactured necessities. Eventually, one of his Indian ancestors married one of the white traders who operated the trading post, resulting in Grady becoming a direct descendant of both sides of this historic trading operation.
From this unique and adventurous original union of marriage, Grady's family expanded and developed into six generations of talented traders, trappers, tanners of animal hides, basket weavers, leather craftsmen, jewelry designers, seamstresses, and engravers. An entire family who never strayed far from their family's roots in southwest Georgia, and almost all of whom have continued to make a living solely from the skills and talents of their own strong and weathered hands.
Grady's Trading Post now brings more than 135 years of craftsmanship into today's world of modern technology, by offering an unusually wide variety of original hand-made products, leather goods, ancient Indian artifacts, hobby supplies and crafts, raw leather and animal hides, furs, and the largest inventory of unique, one-of-a-kind products available anywhere. Take a trip back to the future to shop for items that have become priceless and valuable non-necessities in a modern world. Listen to the beat of the sacred drums!
