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.
