Town of Jackson
What most people call the Old West we call downtown.
Jackson and its Town Square have been the social and cultural heart of the valley for more than a century.
It no longer takes a day and a wagon to get to town, but once here the soda fountain on the Town Square — and the family running it — is the same as 100 years ago. The log cabin early settler Ben Coe used as his blacksmith shop is now a sushi restaurant. The wooden sidewalks that formerly kept people from stepping in horse manure now link fine art galleries, James Beard-recognized restaurants, public art, boutiques, parks, and gear shops. Jackson has changed since it was incorporated in 1914, but exploring it remains as much of an adventure as ever.
After a big day in the mountains, the town of Jackson is the perfect spot to live it up, relax, or indulge.
The town of Jackson has done the seemingly impossible: It’s managed to upgrade and modernize with chic hotels and fancy restaurants without losing its Western soul. You’ll notice it as you walk through antler arches and past line-dancing cowboys on your way to a spa treatment, a sushi dinner, or a theater production. After a day of adventures, there’s nothing better than soaking in Jackson’s authentic mountain town vibes.
