A Special Event: Elkfest

In 1913, long after hunting had eliminated the local elk, Stanley Mountain Wagons were used to help transport a herd from Yellowstone that continues to thrive here today. You can hear this remarkable story during a 90-minute tour of the home once owned by F.O. and Flora Stanley.
