Historical buildings and structures of Grand Teton National Park

Grand Teton National Park contains multiple buildings constructed with timber and stone, reflecting the traditional techniques of Western frontier construction.

Settlers established the first permanent structures in Jackson Hole during the 1880s, with the Cunningham Cabin remaining as the earliest preserved building.

The Chapel of the Transfiguration, built in the 1920s, represents the incorporation of religious structures into the natural landscape of the park.

Visitors access historical buildings through marked trails near established parking areas, with interpretation services available at the Moose Visitor Center.

Menor's Ferry Historic District preserves an 1892 transportation system that connected communities across the Snake River before bridge construction in 1927.
