Centennial Celebration
One hundred years ago there was no bridge across the Snake River in Moose, Wyoming. The only dry passage in the valley’s northern end was Menor’s Ferry, constructed in 1892 by W. B. (Bill) Menor, who tended his ranch that spanned the river. The alternative was a dusty 12-mile ride south to the Wilson Bridge. Imagine the preparations needed every time a trip to Jackson was considered! It was this cumbersome travel that spawned The Chapel of the Transfiguration.
We’re celebrating 100 years of love this summer and are inviting the community to our Centennial Celebration of The Chapel in Grand Teton National Park. Here are several ways you can tap in and join the fun!
Thursday, July 24 | Beers & Banter, Jackson Hole History Museum, 6:00 p.m., Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Join moderator Jimmy Bartz and panelists Ruth Huyler Glass, David Dornan, Bruce Hawtin, Mike Wardell, and Katherine Wonson.
Saturday, July 26 | Centennial Supper, Sold Out!, If you are a ticket holder, stay tuned for special instructions about parking. 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.
Sunday, July 27 | 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. worship services, Sunday Roundup, 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. We will transport you back in time to 1925.
Today, at the 2025 Centennial Celebration, The Chapel of the Transfiguration in Grand Teton National Park, continues to draw visitors from around the country and the globe.
These visitors take a moment to reflect on their faith lives amid the majesty of the Teton Range. Doors are open 24 hours and offer Sunday services in summer and a 365-day opportunity to capture an elusive moment of quiet gratitude bringing equilibrium to our hurried, ever-changing world.
Enhancements to this beloved log chapel continue today, one hundred years later. From a simple boardwalk to the new organ and an important Wedding Cabin, those witnesses profoundly affected by this sacred space have donated their love, their esteem and their earnings to build the humble, yet glorious, structure you see today.
An endowment ensures the preservation and the ministry of this exceptional treasure. We invite you to become a protector of the Chapel’s fabric for generations to come. Please join The Episcopal Church of Jackson Hole as we march toward The Chapel of the Transfiguration’s Bicentennial.
