Jackson, WY Attractions
The little town of Jackson lies on the southern edge of Jackson Hole and is an excellent base from which to explore the Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone Park. Jackson is still redolent of the atmosphere of the Wild West, particularly on the Town Square with its dozens of saloons, bars, galleries and souvenir stands. The Jackson Hole Museum (105 N Glenwood St.) traces the history of settlement in the valley, the Teton County Historical Center (105 Mercell Ave.) is devoted to the fur trade and the cultural history of the Indians, and the Wildlife of the American West Art Museum (110 N Center St.) has an extensive collection of pictures and sculptures on the wildlife of the west, including works by Albert Bierstadt and Karl Bodmer, Charles M Russell and Ernest Thompson.
National Museum of Wildlife Art
The National Wildlife Art Museum is worth visiting even if you are not interested in art. The building is designed to blend in with its surroundings and as a result has been partially embedded in the hillside. The museum has over 4,000 paintings and hosts exhibitions on a regular basis.
