The FAMOUS Old Faithful Inn

Interpretative guide and author, Ruth Quinn narrates a brief overview of the famous Old Faithful Inn and American architect Robert Reamer.
Old Faithful Inn in Yellowstone National Park is arguably the most famous structure in the National Park system and opened to the public on June 1st, 1904. Prior to this time, hotels in national parks were built to look like those in cities. The Inn’s young and gifted architect, Robert Chambers Reamer, had the vision that electric lights, steam heat, indoor plumbing, and a fine restaurant could provide the needed feeling of safety, and could be housed in a structure that appeared to have grown out of the landscape. The result revolutionized national park architecture, established Mr. Reamer’s reputation, and has fascinated Yellowstone visitors to this day.
Historic walking tours of the Old Faithful Inn are given daily during the summer.
