 The chapel was built to serve guests and employees of the dude ranches that stretched north of Jackson along the base of the Teton Range.The land was donated by Maud Noble, owner of nearby Menor's Ferry, predating the establishment of Grand Teton National Park in 1929 and its expansion into the Moose area in 1950.The design was based on Our Father's House in Ethete on the Wind River Indian Reservation.
