THIS COLLECTION of photographs was taken from an old photo album found in 1999 in Wisconsin.
The original owner of the album can be identified only as Doris--she appears in several of the
photographs. All of the photographs were captioned with short descriptions, neatly printed on the
black pages of the album in white ink. These original descriptions (including underlines) are repeated,
whenever possible, in white type below each photo. Additional information has occasionally been
added in light blue type.

| Madison Museum was completed in the early 1930s as one of several interpretive museums in Yellowstone. These museums were staffed with naturalists who also led such visitor activities as campfire talks, lantern slide shows, and nature walks. Today this structure is a National Historic Landmark--an example of rustic, stone-log architecture. |

| In the background at left is the Geyser Water Swimming Pool, which opened in the spring of 1934. Inside were two pools--one of which was shallower for children. Water for the pools was piped in from Solitary Geyser. The building also housed employee dormatories, showers, and a public laundry. Overhead was a vaulted roof complete with log beams and skylights. 100 people could easily occupy the pools. The building was razed in 1951. |
