The Tiz-Nat-Zin Winslow Wetherill Trading Post

The location of the Winslow Wetherill trading post called Tiz-Nat-Zin is upstream from the Don Gleason Bridge on Highway 371. Opened in 1901 by the Hyde Exploration Expedition and managed for a year or so by Winslow Wetherill. It was formerly the Swirer's Store opened in 1878. The store was operatedby two German brothers who introduced the Germantown wool yarn to the Navajo's. These rugs were produced primarily for the wall hanging market. The Marietta Palmer family stopped here in 1895 guided by Richard Wetherill. The Black and White photos are from the 1896 American Museum of Natural History collection. The photos were taken by George H. Pepper an Archeologist employed by the Hyde Exploration Expedition to oversee the excavations at Chaco Canyon.
