In the first decade of the 20th century, Mormon settlers established a farming community in the Antelope Flats area of Jackson Hole. The community became known as Mormon Row. The settlement extends as a line of farms, or "line village," along the former Jackson-Moran Road, with irrigated farmsteads running perpendicular to the road. The six homestead complexes once covered the area between the Gros Ventre River and Blacktail Butte. Individual farms included the Andy Chambers, John Moulton and T.A. Moulton homesteads.
This property was homesteaded in 1908 by John and Bartha Moulton who over the next 8 years cleared 80 acres; constructed a house, a barn, and a corral; and fenced his land. In 1916, the Moulton’s gained title to the land. In 1938, they replaced their log house and barn with a new carpenter constructed home.
