Our Partners: We can’t do it all
Since its inception in 2020, Teton Trust for Historic Places has secured and now manages seven easements. In 2021 the Town of Jackson, Wyoming created a Historic Preservation Program, including a new Jackson Historic Register, as well as preservation incentives.
Despite the best efforts of our hard-working group and the following partners, the rate of property demolition/sales and the time needed to properly execute historic easements make it impossible for the Trust to keep pace. Please consider joining our efforts to preserve community character in the Town of Jackson and in Teton County, Wyoming.
