Highlands Historic District

Highlands Historic District is a historic area in Teton County featuring buildings constructed in National Park Service rustic style with natural materials and hand-crafted details. The structures demonstrate how traditional construction methods were applied to blend buildings with their natural setting.

The district received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998 for its role in preserving the region's architectural heritage. This designation highlighted how Park Service construction practices influenced building design across Wyoming.

The buildings here show how people connected structures to the surrounding landscape. You can see how natural materials and the environment were meant to work together in daily use.

The district is open to visitors year-round, allowing you to walk through and observe the buildings from the outside. Informational signs throughout the area explain the construction methods and design choices that shaped these structures.

Many original construction details remain intact, showing how craftspeople built during the early 1900s with available materials and local knowledge. These examples now serve as reference points for similar restoration work across the wider region.
