The 1899 ferry—where the river was crossed.

Menor’s Ferry is a site in Moose, Wyoming. The 1899 ferry—where the river was crossed. Its accounts name only a collective — the ferry dead. The dossier holds 2 reported claims, 2 legends, 1 documented fact and 1 named or described presence — documented record and retelling kept side by side. The site is open to visitors. For HauntHunt it is exactly the kind of file the archive exists for: a real place, a real record, and a story still being told.

Menor's Ferry is the Snake River crossing — Bill Menor's 1894 homestead where the river narrowed to one channel, the reaction ferry that used the current for power. The general store was the whitewashed cabin — the limekiln paint from his brother's kiln, the supplies for the homesteaders and the dudes. The ferry ran until the bridge — the 1927 steel truss that ended the cable car and the platform.
Maud Noble bought it in 1918 — the Philadelphia adventurer who ran the ferry into the automobile age. The Rockefeller purchase was the preservation — the Snake River Land Company's 1929 acquisition, the district that became the park's homestead display. Menor's Ferry is the Jackson Hole crossing — the river's pinch point where the settlement happened, the ferry that connected the valley's halves.
The file keeps Menor's Ferry: the 1894 homestead, the reaction ferry, the 1918 Noble purchase, and the 1927 bridge.
Menor's Ferry is the archive's Jackson-Hole file — the crossing that made the settlement.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Menor's Ferry is the archive's Jackson-Hole file — the ferry that was the valley's connection.
A ferry keeps its river — the file's suggestion being that Menor's hold is the pinch: the single channel in the braided Snake, the current-powered crossing, and the homestead that became the park's exhibit.
