YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK — Travel a century back in time with a hundred-year-old video shared by the National Park Service (NPS).
The NPS History Collection is sharing its newly digitized 16mm film collection on its website, beginning with this documentary about summer 1926 in Yellowstone National Park, when the Crown Prince and Princess of Sweden visited. Prince Gustav Adolf and his wife, Princess Louise, made a grand tour of the U.S. that year.
The royals visit a bison round-up, see geysers and so much more on their visit. NPS notes that then-director Stephen T. Mather and Yellowstone Superintendent Horace M. Albright are visible in the clips. See more historical videos over at the NPS History Collection website.
This story runs annually.
