Jackson Town Square – Jackson Hole, Wyoming, USA

Every winter, about 7,500 elk come down to the National Elk Refuge just outside town. In spring the bulls shed their antlers, and local Boy Scouts head out to collect them. Since 1967 the Scouts have sold the antlers at an auction right here on the square each May, and most of the money goes back to the refuge.

The Rotary Club built the first antler arch in 1953 on the square’s southwest corner and finished all four by 1969. All four have been rebuilt since, and when the old ones came down, the town auctioned them off as well.

The day after Thanksgiving, the mayor leads a countdown and all four arches light up with thousands of bulbs. Then Santa arrives. This year that’s Friday, November 27, and through the winter the square also becomes an ice rink.

Did You Know? Taking an antler home from the arches can get you a $750 fine.
