(Original Airdate: Wednesday, March 3, 2004, 8:00 p.m.)

THE JACKSON HOLE STORY takes a balanced look at efforts to promote – and actions to stifle – the enlarged Grand Teton National Park known today. At the same time, the program shows how the battle over public and private land shaped Jackson Hole into what it is today. The program was produced by KUED’s Joe Prokop and narrated by Babe Humphrey of the Bar J Wranglers band.
