The Dining Room at Yellowstone Lodge

This is where Ruth Maxey worked as a heaver after graduating high school. The gentlemen and ladies would dress in formal attire with the ladies in their gowns and the men in their tuxedos and dancing until dawn to live bands brought in just for the entertainment of the guests. Only the extremely wealthy could afford to take the luxurious trip by train and stagecoach (motorized) into the Nations first National Park. The stagecoach was the first motorized vehicle of it's kind in this country and it could carry 8 passengers and their luggage. A minimum stay was usually one week.
