Old Faithful Museum of Thermal Activity

The museum displays exhibits about geothermal features, including detailed information about geysers, hot springs, and fumaroles found within Yellowstone National Park.

Constructed in 1929 with funding from Laura Spelman Rockefeller, the original museum represented an early implementation of visitor information centers in national parks.

The building incorporates rustic log and stone construction techniques, reflecting the architectural style commonly used throughout the National Park Service system.

The facility operates seasonally from late spring through early fall, offering guided tours and educational programs focused on geothermal activities.

The museum features a collection of historical photographs documenting the initial discovery and scientific exploration of Yellowstone's geothermal areas.
