Hi All,
We spent our last morning visiting historical sites.
The Cunningham Ranch was occupied around the turn of the century
Cunningham's 160 acre homestead proved too small to raise enough hay to make it through the winters. After years of hardship? Cunningham facilitated the sale of his and most other local ranches to ensure conservation of the Teton valley.

Murrie Living Room-The Murrie family moved from Fairbanks, AK to a former Jackson Hole dude ranch in 1945. They immediately began local and national wilderness conservation efforts that led in part to formation of the Wilderness Society which Olas led for nearly 20 years and passage of Wilderness Preservation legislation in 1964. Mardy Murrie lived in this house until her death in 2003 at age 102.
