U.S.A.: Wenonah

Princess Wenonah was the mother of Hiawatha in Longfellow's Song of Hiawatha. This mosaic was inset in the elevator lobby of the original Wenonah Hotel in Bay City. Its colorful history includes being lost in a cow pasture for 13 years. Restored, it is on display at the Bay Country Historical Society, Bay City, Michigan.

Private swap. Thanks, Erin!
