Laurance Rockefeller Preserve, Jackson, Wyoming, USA
The Rockefeller Foundation, the Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve represents a contemplative and one-of-a-kind experience for visitors.
From the beginning, Laurance S. Rockefeller envisioned the Preserve as a place where visitors could experience the same spiritual connection that he himself remembered from his earliest visits to the Tetons.
The Laurance S. Rockefeller Preserve is a 1,106 acres refuge within Grand Teton National Park on the southern end of Phelps Lake, Wyoming. The site was originally known as the Jv Ranch, a dude ranch. Starting in 1927, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. purchased much of the land in Jackson Hole for the creation of Jackson Hole National Monument and the expansion of Grand Teton National Park. But he retained the 3,100-acre JY Ranch as a family retreat.
Over the years the family gave most of the ranch to the national park. Laurance S. Rockefeller donated the final parcel in 2001.
