    Description

    The Cunningham Cabin, built in 1888, stands as one of the valley’s few remaining structures from the homesteading era when settlers filed nearly 400 claims in Jackson Hole. Cunningham ran a profitable ranch until drought ruined his crops and cattle prices fell at the end of World War I. Cunningham teamed up with a neighbor to write a petition signed by 97 valley ranchers, proposing a buyout of ranches to create a national recreation area for public enjoyment. In 1928, Cunningham sold to the Snake River Land Company who later donated 35,000 acres for park expansion. National Park Service
