This waymark is located at the Madison Museum but represents a historic district consisting of three museums under this National Register Listing that are located at widely separate areas in Yellowstone National Park. The three museums were all designed by Herbert Maier, who at that time was an architect working for the American Association of Museums and the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Foundation. All of these facilities were donated to the National Park Service.
