In 2010, La Posada owner Allan Affeldt purchased and donated the Lorenzo Hubble Rug to WAT. This rug was woven by Navajo weaver Julia Joe and her family in 1932. At 26-by-36 feet, it is the largest single loom Navajo weaving in existence. WAT is working on a conservation plan to preserve the rug and create a safe place to display it to the public. Opening of exhibit at the Affeldt Mion Museum in 2023.

I have nothing but admiration for you folks. True to the” build it they will come” ethos, you are creating an exciting destination and re-igniting interest in the great south west. Cheers to you all.

When will the rug be on permanent display? Can’t wait to make plans to visit when it is ready. Thanks
