Yellowstone Caldera Chronicles is a weekly column written by scientists and collaborators of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory. This week's contribution is from Annie Carlson, research coordinator at the Yellowstone Center for Resources, Yellowstone National Park.
Every historic building in Yellowstone has a story to tell. You may be familiar with the impressive Old Faithful Inn or Fort Yellowstoneâs tidy rows of red-roofed buildings. But not every historic building is so recognizable. In fact, the oldest one still standing in the park is viewed by relatively few people. It is a humble little structure, off the beaten path, with a unique story of its own.
