The world's largest Navajo Rug - La Posada Hotel Winslow, Arizona

In 1932 Lorenzo Hubbell of the famous Hubbell Trading Post
network commissioned Sam and Julia Joe to weave the world's
largest Navajo Rug for promotional purposes. It has not been
seen in public in over 50 years. Allan Affeldt purchased the
rug in 2012. He donated it to the Winslow Art Trust and it will
be displayed at the Route 66 Art Museum at La Posada Hotel
in Winslow, Arizona. On this day the descendants of the Joe
family have been invited to a private reunion at La Posada.
This event is especially touching because in attendance is
Emma Joe who as a child carded wool for two years to help
make the rug. This will be the first time most of the members
of the Joe family will see and touch the rug.
