Description

The Tetons are breathtaking, and on a sunny day, the colors stand out so perfectly, with the snowy peaks. On this morning, fall was approaching; the leaves had started to change, and with the historic barn in front, it was perfection. This often photographed barn on Mormon Row is so well known that it has a name -- the T.A. Moulton Barn.

Mormon Row, formerly known as the town of Grovont, was settled in the late 1890s by Mormons from the Salt Lake region. Due to the Homestead Act of 1862, which granted land ownership to any person willing to build a house and cultivate the area for five years, this community was able to establish a presence in the area east of Blacktail Butte. Settlers secured 27 homesteads that they built close together to share labor and community. In the mid-1900s, Mormon Row was acquired to expand Grand Teton National Park and in 1997 the district was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The T.A. Moulton Barn is part of the Thomas Alma and Lucille Moulton homestead. Settled in 1910, T.A. took over 30 years to build his barn.
