Northeast Entrance Station

Northeast Entrance Station is a park entrance checkpoint in Wyoming built from lodgepole pine logs on a stone foundation. The structure features a central office block with checking windows designed to process visitor entry.

The station was built in 1935 under architect Thomas Chalmers Vint as part of early Yellowstone development. It received National Historic Landmark designation in 1987 for its architectural importance to park design.

The entrance station stands as a representation of National Park Service design principles, influencing park structures across North America.

Visitors obtain entrance permits for both Yellowstone and Grand Teton at this location. The site has accessible facilities and staff can answer questions about park roads and basic logistics.

The building's corners display saddle-notched joinery, a traditional log-building technique that uses locally sourced materials. This construction method helps prevent wood from cracking during temperature swings.
