The Miller House in Jackson Hole is a historical landmark. Located on what is now the National Elk Refuge. The Miller Cabin complex consists of three buildings that were the residence of Robert A. Miller, the first superintendent of Teton National Monument. A house, a barn and a cabin built by Miller. The property was eventually transferred to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in what became the . The buildings are a component of the closely related Grace and Robert Miller Ranch.

Robert Miller was born in  in 1863, and took up permanent residence in 1885, settling on land along Flat Creek. A prominent local citizen, Miller helped to organize the town of Jackson, Wyoming in 1901. He was the president of the local bank. His wife served two terms as mayor of Jackson in the 1920s.

There is a food court located inside the main fair grounds with all of your usual delights. I recommend not missing out on some local fixin’s over by the events tent. Located on Snow King Ave., the tent hosts talent shows etc. throughout the day, which provides some entertainment while dining. You will find a large grassy area with some picnic tables located near the “Big Top” events tent.

My favorite is the philly cheese steaks or cheeseburgers at the Rocky Mountain Ministries food booth.

A collection of rides and games can be found around the fair’s “midway” that are sure to thrill children and adults.

Figure 8 Races seem to be a big hit with locals and visitors. In years past the Demolition Derby was the Sunday night featured event. Soon after the introduction of of the Figure 8’s, it replaced the Derby.

This event combines the smash and crash of a derby with a little finese. Cars race around a figure 8 track where “rubbin’s racin’!” A fireworks display concludes the fair on Sunday evening. Come on out and enjoy our fair!

July 4th 2014 in the Hole!

Posted on: June 24th, 2014 by thcAdmin No Comments

The fourth in Jackson is a fun filled day. There is a lot to keep you busy from sun up to sun down. Be prepared for the crowds. There tends to be more vehicle, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic than any other day in the valley. It is good to find a nice parking spot, try the public parking garage located on Millward, then set out by foot or by bike. There will be some congestion getting out of and around town after the fireworks display.
