Historical buildings and structures of Grand Teton National Park, Historic buildings in Grand Teton National Park, United States

The historic buildings and structures in Grand Teton National Park are constructed from timber and stone using the building methods of early Western settlers. Each building demonstrates how people worked with the natural materials available in their surroundings.

The first permanent structures appeared in Jackson Hole during the 1880s as settlers began developing the region. The Cunningham Cabin from that era stands as one of the oldest preserved buildings in the park.

The name Mormon Row comes from the Mormon settlers who established a farming community in the Antelope Flats area in the first decade of the 20th century. Their farms form a "line village" along the former Jackson-Moran Road, with irrigated fields running perpendicular to the road. Six homestead complexes once covered the land between the Gros Ventre River and Blacktail Butte, and the Andy Chambers Ranch is the most complete of the surviving ranches.

The historic buildings are accessible by marked trails that start from designated parking areas throughout the park. The Moose Visitor Center provides information and guidance to help you explore these sites.

Menor's Ferry Historic District preserves an 1892 ferry system that connected communities across the Snake River before the first bridge was built in 1927. This early transportation solution shows how isolated the valley communities were before modern connections arrived.
