    Hiking

    Around 1820 the house belonged to the Reiber family of seed dealers. Andreas Reiber made 28 trips to America. On his last trip he was ambushed and seriously injured. The chief's son Wawonda helped and cared for the wounded man. Andreas Reiber died in Pittsburgh in 1881. In 1901 Georg Martin Stumpp, who owned a flower shop in New York, bought the property for his parents and had it converted, after which the villa was named "Wawonda".

    Around 1820, the house belonged to the Reiber family, seed merchants. Andreas Reiber undertook 28 trips to America. During one of his last stays,
    he was reportedly attacked and seriously injured. The chief's son, Wawonda, took care of the wounded man and nursed him back to health. Andreas
    Reiber died in Pittsburgh (USA) in 1881. In 1901, Georg Martin Stumpp,
    who owned a flower shop in New York, acquired the property for his parents,
    had it renovated, and named it “Wawonda”.
