Mormon Row Historic District

Most homesteaders in Jackson Hole took up land alone, a cabin and a claim miles from the next. The Latter-day Saint families who came over from Idaho in the 1890s settled the other way, in a line of farms close enough together to make a village, on the flat east of Blacktail Butte, where the soil was better and the butte broke the wind. The Post Office called the settlement Grovont, and it grew to twenty-seven homesteads. Water was the hard part, so they dug ditches to carry the Gros Ventre River to their fields. Some of those ditches still run.

What stands now comes mostly from the settlement's later decades. The brothers John and T. A. Moulton built barns on neighboring homesteads. T. A. took some thirty years to finish his, a gabled barn with sheds along its sides, and John, after nearly three decades on the land, replaced his log house and barn with a two-story gambrel barn and, in 1938, a pink stucco house. Andy Chambers's homestead is the most complete cluster left. Electric power did not reach the row until the 1950s.

The district was listed on the National Register in 1997, and the last privately held acre on the row passed to the park in 2018. Antelope Flats Road leaves US-191 just north of Moose Junction, and bison often graze the fields between the barns.
