St. John's Episcopal Church and Rectory

St. John's Episcopal Church and Rectory is a church complex made of substantial log structures in Jackson, featuring a worship building and a residence for the minister. Both buildings showcase carefully designed dormers and the church has an open log-trussed roof as its main interior feature.

The rectory was built in 1911 and initially served as a hostel and gathering space before the church was completed in 1916 under Bishop Nathaniel Thomas's direction. The site later played a role in establishing the town's first hospital.

The church served as a gathering place where the community came together for worship and daily meetings. That spirit of welcome and shared purpose remains visible in how the space is used today.

The complex is centrally located in Jackson and easily reachable on foot, with clear street markers and nearby landmarks to guide you. Check ahead before visiting since regular services and community gatherings may affect when you can walk around freely.

The organization manages the Chapel of the Transfiguration located within Grand Teton National Park, a small chapel building serving a very different landscape and purpose. This connection shows how the congregation's influence extended far beyond the town itself.
