About Jackson Town Square

Formally named George Washington Memorial Park, Town Square sits at the center of Jackson and was developed as a park in 1934. An arch built from elk antlers stands at each of its four corners, using shed antlers that Boy Scouts collect on the nearby National Elk Refuge. The Rotary Club built the first arch in 1953, and the arches are rebuilt periodically. A Veterans Monument topped by Wyoming's bucking horse and rider was dedicated here in 1976.
