Mormon Row Historic District
Moose, WY
A line of homestead barns and houses set against the Teton Range, including the much-photographed Moulton Barn. Reached on Antelope Flats Road off US-191; arrive before sunrise for the best light and fewer tripods.
In the 1890s, Mormon settlers from Idaho came to Antelope Flats east of Blacktail Butte and established 27 homesteads here, deliberately close together to share labor. They dug irrigation ditches by hand and with teams of horses; water still flows in some of them. Six building clusters survive, and the district has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1997. The brothers John and T. A. Moulton built neighboring barns: T. A. spent more than 30 years on his, which today, with the Teton Range behind it, is among the most photographed scenes in the park; John's barn stands by the pink stucco house.
From Jackson, drive north on US-191 past Moose Junction and turn right onto Antelope Flats Road. After about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) you reach the intersection at the pink house, with a small parking area. A self-guided walk takes one to two hours; the path is level but bumpy. The light is best at dawn and dusk, and pronghorn, bison and elk often show up along the road. Antelope Flats Road is closed seasonally, so check the road status beforehand.
