The Chapel of the Transfiguration is a small log chapel in Grand Teton National Park, in the community of Moose, Wyoming. The chapel was sited and built to frame a view of the Teton Range, Cathedral Group of peaks in a large window behind the altar. The chapel, which was built in 1925, is owned and operated by St. John's Episcopal Church in Jackson, Wyoming. The chapel complex is composed of the chapel itself, an entrance canopy that incorporates a small bell tower, and storage shed. The chapel and accessory buildings were designed by C.B. Loomis in a rustic style, also called Western Craftsman. The 22-foot by 50-foot T-shaped chapel has exposed log interior walls with stained glass windows on either side. Behind the altar on the chapel's axis, a picture window frames a view of the Cathedral Group that substitutes for a stained glass composition.—Wikipedia

Menor's Ferry was a river ferry that crossed the Snake River near present-day Moose, Wyoming. The site was homesteaded by Bill Menor in 1892-94, choosing a location where the river flowed in a single channel, rather than the braided stream that characterizes its course in most of Jackson Hole. Menor's homestead included a five-room cabin, a barn, a store, sheds and an icehouse. Menor operated the ferry until 1918, selling to Maude Noble, who continued operations until 1927, when a bridge was built at Moose. The Menor house and store are unusual in their application of classical forms to rustic log construction, an effect heightened by the whitewashed walls of the buildings. The Menor cabin has three rooms, with a bedroom on the west, a store on the east, and a kitchen and storage room connecting them. The Menor cabin was the point of departure for the first ascent of Grand Teton on August 11, 1898, and it hosted the celebratory party that evening.—Wikipedia
