Yellowstone: The First National Park

Yellowstone National Park, the first of its kind, was established due to the efforts of an 1871 expedition led by Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden. The expedition included artist Thomas Moran and photographer William Henry Jackson, whose work captured the park's beauty and convinced the government to protect it. This collaboration between art and conservation not only safeguarded Yellowstone but also inspired future generations of artists.
