Hamilton's Store at Old Faithful
Hamilton's Stores were concessioners in Yellowstone National Park from 1915 to 2002. The stores were founded by Winnipeg native Charles Hamilton, who arrived in Yellowstone in 1905, aged 21, to work for the Yellowstone Park Association. The stores provided food, souvenirs, and sundries to tourists at the major attractions along Yellowstone's Grand Loop Road. Several of the buildings constructed for Hamilton's are significant examples of the National Park Service Rustic style of architecture and have become prominent attractions in their own right.

"The Hamilton's Store at Old Faithful, in Yellowstone National Park, is my most popular photo. I took it with my first digital camera and showed it at my first Artomatic exhibit. Yellowstone in winter ... can't beat it. So peaceful ..."
