The Moulton Ranch Cabins, the last privately-held inholding in Grand Teton National Park’s Mormon Row Historic District, has officially been transferred to the National Park Service from Grand Teton National Park Foundation. Under Teton County, Wyoming, zoning regulations, a private purchaser could have redeveloped the inholding, building up to 10,000 square feet of new construction that may not have been compatible with the historic district and the conservation values of the surrounding park. The Moulton Ranch Cabins, are listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Nine existing lodging units on the property will now provide housing for seasonal park employees. The Foundation announced the plan to purchase the property in June 2018 and acquired the property the following November. It was listed for sale by the former owners, Hal and Iola Blake, who are descendants of one of the original homesteaders TA Moulton, and the sale was made possible through the gift of an anonymous philanthropist. The Park took possession of the property last April.
