Thomas Alma Moulton and family established a homestead on Antelope Flats, tending the land and building structures from 1912 to 1945. The classic peaked-roof barn mirrors the cathedral-like spires of the Teton Range. The mood of the barn changes day-by-day, hour-by-hour as weather conditions change.
