GRAND TETON NATURE NOTES

JACKSON'S HOLE MUSEUM AND HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION

At a recent meeting in Jackson, Wyoming, prominent citizens of Jackson's Hole and officials of Grand Teton National Park adopted by-laws for a new organization- the Jackosn's Hole Museum and Historical Association.

The primary objects of the association are to collect scientific and historical information relating to Jackson's Hole and the Tetons, and to provide for the preservation and display in the Jenny Lake Museum of historical relics and scientific material.

The membership will consist of those who donate objects or who contribute a membership fee of $5.00 to the Association. Dr. C.W. Huff, director of the St. John's Hospital; Thomas E. Whitcraft , Superinendent of Grand Teton National Park; Bruce Porter, Jackson businessman; Allyn F. Hanks, Chief Ranger of Grand Teton National Park; Charles Kratzer, editor of the Jackson's Hole Courier; Rev. E. Lofstrum of Jackson; and Howard R. Stagner, Junior Park Naturalist compose the board of directors.

The Association will make special effort during the next few months to obtain objects of historical interest in Jackson's Hole. Those, with the many valuable historical items already on hand, will be assembled in the Jenny Lake Museum in a special display to tell the interesting and significant story of this area which for many years played an important part in the discovery, exploration and settlement of the West. - H.R.S.
