HISTORIC AREAS IN YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK

Inn At Old Faithful - Yellowstone


Recently, my curiosity got the better of me. Living at the West Gate of Yellowstone National Park we are surrounded by history. There are many structures in our town that have been designated as being on the  National  Historic Register. That got me to wondering if there were designated historic areas inside the National Park. So, with the help of the good old Internet, I did some research and the following is what I discovered.

The National Register of Historic Places is administered by the National Park Service and does include the following properties in Yellowstone National Park.

Fort Yellowstone
Fishing Bridge Trailside Museum
Madison Junction Trailside Museum
Norris Geyser Basin Trailside Museum
Northeast Entrance Station
Obsidian Cliffs
Old Faithful Inn
Lake Fish Hatchery
Mammoth Hot Springs
North Entrance Road
Old Faithful area
Roosevelt Lodge
Lake Hotel
Lamar Buffalo Ranch
Obsidian Cliff Kiosk
Queen's Laundry Bath House
Post Office at Mammoth Hot Springs

 If you are a history buff – and if you enjoy visiting historic places – you will find more than enough to keep you occupied in Yellowstone National Park.
