Final Phase is Underway: Mormon Row Renewal Project

This July, construction begins on the final phase of the Mormon Row Historic District renewal project. It's a milestone that's been years in the making, and it marks the home stretch of a meaningful collaboration between Grand Teton National Park Foundation and Grand Teton National Park.

So what does this last phase look like? Redesigned parking, accessible pathways, and updated interpretive elements will bring the history of this place to life in new ways. The original historic Mormon Row Road will be newly utilized as a cultural resource that invites visitors to slow down, walk, and take in the area. Construction runs through November 2026, and while the district stays open all season, visitors should expect some equipment and activity in the area this summer.

This progress builds on years of preservation work, including the purchase of the last privately-held inholding in the district, the restoration of the Pink House, and the adaptive reuse of the Roy Chambers Homestead for workforce housing. That last one is especially meaningful: Grand Teton seasonal staff are now living there, keeping a culturally significant structure in active use while helping address the park's real housing needs.
