In 2012, Don “Stone” Kensinger and his wife Vicki moved into a charming Mount Gretna cottage in Pennsylvania. They were given a mysterious item passed down through generations of owners of the property since the late 1800s. Casual conversations with neighbors sparked a cross-country adventure as Stone explored the connections between W. Theodore Wittman; the cottage’s original owner, and Mount Gretna, and Stone’s passion for the Diné and their intricate weavings.
Eleven hundred miles separate the Navajo Reservation from Mount Gretna, PA. Despite this vast distance, numerous Navajo rugs have migrated to Mount Gretna. The stories associated with these wonderful weavings and their provenance are the topics of this presentation.
